- The Psychotria elata flowering plant is known as Hooker’s lips because of its bright red bracts that look like juicy lips. The Psychotria elata is regarded as the most kissable plant in the world. It grows in the rain forests of South and Central America.
- Unfortunately this attractive red lip like shape of this flower only remains for a short time. After that the lip like shape disappears from the plant to new small white flower grow from center of large red bracts. Even the lip shaped flower remains only for a short time it helps the plant to attract pollinators such as small birds and butterflies. The deforestation also results in declining the number of hooker’s lip flowering plants.
