Willoughbya Setigera

Willoughbya, scientifically known as Willoughbya setigera, is a striking tropical plant native to the rainforests of Queensland, Australia. It is renowned for its large, showy inflorescences that resemble a torch, with vibrant orange and red bracts that attract pollinators. Despite its ornamental appeal, this plant is often mistaken for a fern due to its feathery foliage and unique growth habit. Willoughbya setigera is relatively rare in cultivation, making it a sought-after specimen among plant enthusiasts and horticulturists. Its adaptability to specific growing conditions highlights the importance of understanding its ecological needs for successful cultivation.
