People believe that this is a good luck plant. If you are very fortunate in your life, your flower will bloom once or twice a year. Some people believe that once the flower is fully open, you can pick the flower and drink (put in a cup of water or wine. Can last a long time if bottle)or eat the next day when it dies.

Most other plants bloom and stay bloomed because they're happy, but this is different. Epi Oxy blooms because it's scared. It blooms for survival when it's threatened.
