Antirhea Chinensis

Chinese antirrhinum, scientifically known as Antirhea chinensis, is a striking flowering plant native to China and parts of Southeast Asia. It is prized for its vibrant, tubular flowers that range in color from red to orange, often resembling the shape of a horn, hence its common name. This plant thrives in warm, humid climates and is commonly found in forested areas and along stream banks. Its ornamental value has made it a popular choice for gardeners seeking both beauty and resilience. Despite its appeal, it remains relatively unknown outside of its native regions, highlighting the need for greater botanical awareness.
