An aesthetically pleasing plant.
Contexte culturel
Always give an odd number of flowers. Even numbers are for the dead. Flowers are the most common gift for women on their name days. Budapest residents compete to have the most 'szép virág' on their balconies. The 'szép virág' motif (tulips, roses) is central to Hungarian embroidery and pottery.
