Kangaroo Paw

Kangaroo Paw is the common name for a number of species, in two genera of the family Haemodoraceae, that are native to southwest Western Australia. These rhizomatous perennial plants are well-known for their distinctive blossoms that draw birds. The popular name "kangaroo paw" comes from the tubular blooms' six claw-like appendages that open at the apex of the flower, which is covered in dense hairs. The kangaroo paw plant has been introduced into Japan and has been grown as a new ornamental crop mainly on Okinawa Island under a subtropical climate.

Kangaroo paws now come in a variety of new hues thanks to research conducted in the years leading up to 2020, including blues, purples, whites, and many others. To comprehend the flower's colors, genetic study and DNA sequencing comparable to that done on Snapdragons have been conducted. According to another study, the plant's spores may help rejuvenate and restore skin firmness by increasing the collagen produced by the source's young cells.
