Explanation:
Flower Edit
They blossom in Spring specifically May 15 - June 5.[3] The plants are .3-.91m (1–3 ft) in height with 1-7 flowers per plant. It has pale blue-pink petals, but when observed through a microscope has seven colors.[3] They are ivory on the inside and occasionally are colored a pale pink as well. The outside can be a reddish-purple as well. It is a trumpet-shaped flower which hangs downward.[4]
Cultivation Edit
The flowers can be cultivated in various ways. They grow well in humus soil that remains moist and is sheltered from direct summer sunlight. They can be grown as bulbs and seeds.[5]
The seeds need to be covered with compost about 5mm deep and need to be in a cool, but well-lit space. Artificial heat can prevent germination and they only germinate in the Spring after they've been chilled or frozen in the winter. They can be grown in small pots and then repotted or planted outside.[4] This is because the area in which they are from, Ukhrul, has wet summers and cold, dry winters.[3]
