This is a very beautiful flower
They come in a wide variety of colors too!
Not just beautiful but also useful
I love them because they are exotic looking to me, I had no idea it was edible.
I did not know the details.
I had no idea it was medicinal.
Great macro of this awesome flower. I never have tried growing them.
I grew them in Arkansas years ago. I dont know it they will do okay here, they like the coolness. They are rated down to zone 9, I am hoping by keeping them under shade they will survive. If it gets too hot here, I can move the pot under the pine tree or pepper tree. I will let you know how it does. It would do better up there where you live if in the shade.
