A Living Star of Tropical Gardens
The Taipei Mussaenda, with its striking bracts and soft blossoms, is one such flower. Belonging to the Rubiaceae family, it is adored across tropical regions for its ornamental beauty and vibrant personality.
The Taipei Mussaenda is unique because its charm lies not only in its small yellow flowers but also in the colorful bracts (modified leaves) that surround them. These bracts, often in shades of white, pink, or red, look like giant petals, giving the plant the illusion of being covered in star-shaped blooms. Together, they create a dazzling display that turns ordinary landscapes into magical canvases.
