Platycodon, Chinese bellflower, or balloon flower (referring to the balloon-shaped flower buds) (lat. Platycodon grandiflorus).

A perennial flower that prefers to grow in dry sunny meadows, in thickets of shrubs, on gravelly slopes. It is popular with gardeners for its large flowers, good adaptability and ease of cultivation. It has no flavor🌱

Ширококолокольчик крупноцветковый (лат. Platycodon grandiflorus).

Многолетний цветок, предпочитающий произрастать на сухих солнечных лугах, в зарослях кустарников, по щебнистым склонам. Популярен у садоводов за крупные цветки, хорошую адаптивность и легкость выращивания. Аромата не имеет🌱

桔梗[Kikyō] Platycodon grandiflorus

Basically, there is no specific color for family crests, which are still used in monochrome in the main. But the crest of Kikyō used by 明智光秀[Akechi Mitsuhide], the samurai general of the Warring States Era (Late 15C to late 16C), was colored light blue. This was very rare at that time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akechi_clan

On the first day of the sixth month, after nightfall, at Kameyama (castle) in Tanba Province, Akechi Koretō Hyūga-no-kami Mitsuhide plotted a treachery, summoned Akechi Samanosuke (Mitsutada), Akechi Jiemon (Hidemitsu), Fujita Dengo (Yukimasa) and Saitō Kuranosuke (Toshimitsu; Kasuga-no Tsubone's father), held a strategy meeting, hatched a secret scheme to kill Oda Nobunaga and become the leader of the country. "We are supposed to go from Kameyama to the Chūgoku region over Mikusayama, but turn back here and turn all the horses' heads to the east, ascend Oinoyama, and head from Yamazaki through the land of Settsu Province", decided so and informed all the troops of this, and he commanded those who had the meeting to lead the spearhead squad.

Written on the next section after the above is the famous "Honnō-ji Incident". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honnō-ji_Incident

How would the beautiful light blue Kikyō banners that would have fluttered around the temple have looked in Nobunaga's eyes?
