Sophora: The Underrated Beauty of the Botanical World
Sophora, also known as the pink butterfly flower or baby eye flower, is a beautiful grassy plant with bright, mainly sky blue flowers. It is not a tall plant, making it well-suited for pots and borders. Sophora has cultural significance in Japan, where it is called "lazuri-dango" and its flower language represents forgiveness, patriotism, and pity. The Sapporo Chrysanthemum, a related species, is widely distributed in China, India, Bhutan, the Philippines, and Japan. This plant is known for its ornamental value and cultural associations.
