Sometimes I am used as a food plant! My name comes from an Ancient Greek Word. Popularity suits me as I am very attractive and colourful. Holding many a place in history, I am especially remembered for being a Revolution Flower worn by the protesters in Budapest in 1918. My family brings tremendous joy to viewers as we sparkle while we portray botanical beauty... With staying power, our flowers are quite unusual; we are upright flowers with lavish floral displays at the top.
