Why are purple flowers given on November 9?

The popularity of giving purple flowers every November 9 has gained momentum as a trend on digital platforms. The root of this “new tradition ” is found in the song Bugambilia by Nasa Histoires, released in 2023 and which has accumulated millions of views on YouTube.

However, it is also attributed as an influence to the iconic song Ramito de violetas , performed by the Spanish singer Cecilia in 1975, which has been revived in a recent version by the group Mi Banda El Mexicano.
