A genus of tropical flowering plants with small, colorful flowers, commonly grown in gardens.
From 'angel' + '-onia' (Latin botanical suffix). Named fancifully for the delicate, wing-like appearance of its flowers.
Plant names often have poetic origins—angelonia got its name because its tiny flowers were thought to resemble angels' wings! It's a common garden plant that carries this whimsical etymology.
