Dear All, The plant in the attached photo is .......................... *Aeschynanthus radicans* [Common name: Lipstick plant] is an epiphyte that grows in the angles of branches in the rain forest. As with all epiphytes, the lipstick plant does not live as a parasite on the tree, but takes its nourishment from fallen leaves and twigs that accumulate in the crevices of branches. It is native to the Malaysian peninsula. It is also a common garden and indoor plant used for decoration due its vibrant flower colour and glossy leaf .
