It is said that it has been carried from the China continent with the plant belonging to the department of a blue flag a long time ago. It seems that make a subterranean stem and a stock is formed, and the dark shade etc. may be sufficient and it grows. It is also the short-life flower of merely fading in only one day after the bloom.
