Some people are right: nature is only more beautiful and strange, not the most beautiful and strange.
Lip flowers are good "physical evidence".
The lip flower is a shrub, or small tree, native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. And only here it is. Because it requires a specific environment like hot and humid rainforest + fertile soil + rich humus. As a result, it is on the verge of extinction.
The lips are like flaming red lips. It is a local Valentine's Day gift. The flower language is: Come and kiss me, passionate kiss, sweet kiss.
But in fact, the red lip is not a flower, but its bracts, a perverted leaf, very tempting, mistaken for a flower.
This metamorphosis is not another metamorphosis, but a change in morphological structure caused by the environment.
Its real flowers bloom in red lips, white, small, and have no special smell, not enough to "attract bees and butterflies".
There are many similar ones, and speaking out will subvert your perception.
Lotus root, in essence, is a metamorphosed stem.
Radish, in essence, is a metamorphosis root.
Bougainvillea is essentially a metamorphosed leaf, not a petal.
Calla lily, in essence, is a perverted bud of Buddha flame, and the flower is a fleshy spike in the middle.
