medinillamedinilla
genusgenusTropical flowering plants known for their dramatic clusters of pink or white flowers that dangle like botanical chandeliers from their branches. These evergreen beauties feature thick, glossy leaves and can grow as either terrestrial plants or epiphytes in their natural habitat.
Etymology
The genus was named in honor of José de Medinilla y Pineda, who served as governor of the Mariana Islands in the 18th century and supported botanical exploration in the region.
Interesting fact!
The flowers' showy display is actually enhanced by large, colorful bracts that persist long after the blooms have faded, creating an extended period of ornamental interest.
