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🌱

Kakashi Hatake (Naruto)

Name: Kakashi Hatake

Gender: Male

Status: Alive

Family: Sakumo Hatake (Father)

Flower Motif: Chinese Bellflower/Balloon Flower (Platycodon grandiflorus)

Flower Meaning: Obedience

Weapon of Choice: Throwing Knives

Associated With: Interdimensional Hero Club

Hero Form Appearance: A striking combination of a ninja’s training garb and YuYuYu’s Hero Form outfits. The main outfit itself is the bright blue of his flower motif- but as you move towards the lower half of the sleeves and the pants, as well as the tailcoat, the blue fades to a lighter shade, but as is the custom with all other Hero Form outfits, the undersuit is a dark black to make that blue stand out. Otherwise, the accents for this outfit are white, gray, green, black, and periwinkle to balance things out. The gloves, boots, belt, and mask are all colored a dark periwinkle to add to the palette, and all with the embroidery of the Chinese bellflower. The flower’s petal shape can be seen in the tailcoat. Otherwise, the only remaining accessory is the Chinese bellflower insignia on Kakashi’s headband.

Full Bloom Gauge Location: Right Elbow

Bio: One of the most renowned members of the Hidden Leaf Village, Kakashi Hatake has served as a teacher to both Naruto and Sasuke. The masked shinobi may seem aloof and goofy, but he was once made a captain of the elite ANBU unit for very good reason.

Note: He has the same flower motif as Nogi Wakaba!

Flowers for Unohana

In TYBW cour 2 opening, sad looking Ken-chan is throwing bouquet of blue flowers into the river and walking away. These flowers seems to be kikyō (桔梗) - Platycodon grandiflorus, chinese bellflower, balloon flower

They're mostly blue, but also different colors exist. Plant is used in traditional medicine and for culinary purposes too.

4th Division has bellflower as it's insignia. It can be other species but it can be also kikyo.

Hidden meaning of kikyo is eternal love, patience, strength, loyalty, good fortune. In classic literature is often associated with tragic heroine and self-sacrifice.

Let's take look at 11th Division plant - Yarrow, Achillea millefolium.

Name is derived from ancient Greek hero Achilles. Obviously. Centaur Chiron teached Achilles how to use plant to stop bleeding. Is used in medicine, but is also toxic. Yarrow is used in butterfly gardens because attracts beneficial insect. Wild yarrow has white flowers, but different colored cultivars exist.

Hidden meanings - everlasting love, courage and war, healing and good health, protection against evil

Seems quite legit.
