Strobilanthes kunthiana

Strobilanthes kunthiana is a plant that has big, green leaves and beautiful purple flowers. When the light shines on the leaves, they appear to be shiny or sparkly because of tiny little hairs on their surface. This plant comes from the rainforest, which is a place with lots of trees and plants and animals that need rain to survive.

Like humans and animals, plants need water to live too! That's why this plant is very good at storing water in its leaves. It has a special system that helps it hold onto water so it can survive longer without rain.

When the plant is ready to make new flowers, it sends out a special chemical that tells insects like bees and butterflies to come and visit. These insects help the plant by pollinating it, which means they move the pollen from one flower to another so the plant can make seeds and new baby plants.

So, in summary, Strobilanthes kunthiana is a plant with big green leaves and purple flowers that comes from the rainforest. It stores water in its leaves and relies on insects to help it make new seeds and baby plants.
