Does your plant collection have a lipstick plant? Their flowers emerge from the dark calyx (see the ones near the top of the photo) with red buds that resemble lipstick coming out of a tube, then they burst open with a beautiful red flower. Lipstick Plants (Aeschynanthus) are hardy outside here at the coast with protection, but they also make excellent houseplants in bright light situations.
