Alatiglossum Ciliatum

Ciliated lips, scientifically known as Alatiglossum ciliatum, is a unique flowering plant native to specific regions of South America. This plant is distinguished by its striking, velvety petals that resemble lips, hence its common name. The species thrives in humid, shaded environments, often found in forest understories. Its delicate structure and ornamental appearance make it a subject of interest for botanists and horticulturists alike. Despite its beauty, Alatiglossum ciliatum remains relatively obscure in global plant collections.
