Royal Victory’s legend - northern region. Is very popular in Brazil. Legend has it that the moon was a god who dated the most beautiful young indians and whenever she hid, she chose and took some girls with her. In an indigenous village, there was a beautiful young woman, the warrior Naiá, who dreamed of the moon and could hardly wait for the day when the god would call her. However, the young woman did not care, since she was in love with the moon. This passion became an obsession when Naiá no longer wanted to eat or drink anything, only to admire the moon. One night when the moonlight was very beautiful, the girl came to the edge of a lake, saw the moon reflected in the water and believed that the god had come down from the sky to bath there. So, the girl threw herself into the lake toward the image of the moon. When she realized that this was an illusion, she tried to return, but failed and drowned. Moved by the situation, the moon god decided to turn the girl into a star unlike any other: a water star - Royal Victory. For this reason, the fragrant white flowers of this plant only open in the night.
