The most recognizable and widely grown flower is comprised of golden orange petals with vivid blue and purple spathes and accent petals. It is also commonly known as the Crane Flower. Plants frequently require an extended period of time from a few months to a few years to reach their full blooming potential, but are well worth the wait.
