👉 Abbotia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, native to the Mediterranean region and parts of Asia Minor. They are commonly known as "the rose of paradise," due to their striking pink flowers that resemble those of roses but with a more floral aroma. This genus includes several species of shrubs, trees, and climbers, such as "Abbotia nigra," which is often used in landscaping for its large, showy blooms.
