Lowia

Lowia belongs to a tropical plant family noted for its striking spiral arrangements and long, arching yellow flowers. These plants, usually found in humid, shady forest floors, thrive under the canopy's diffuse light, which supports their unique flowering pattern that contributes to their pollination strategies. Their broad, green leaves usually collect moisture and nutrients crucial for their survival in such environments.
