Only on the magical night of Ivana Kupala does it turn flaming red for a few fleeting minutes. According to legend, whoever finds and plucks the flower during that brief moment will be blessed with true love. ​ We hope our "Ruta" becomes your true love too🇺🇦RUTA broke a world recordWe were thrilled to be part of Best of Washington by Washingtonian magazine!
