_Posted by Emilka on 2024-05-13_

I’m choosing a name for my new lipstick plant and I was wondering if you could help me.  
1\. Minka . . . Meaning is warrior comes from the place I was born  
2\. Alala . . . Meaning smart eager and warrior comes from my favorite subject  
3\. Ruby . . . Meaning red Latin origin recommended by a friend and has a cute nickname either ruba or red

### Adrian commented on 2024-05-13

I like Minka or Ruby

### Cece commented on 2024-05-13

I think Ruby is the obvious choice since it blooms red flowers. But if you want something more unique I like Minka :) It also has “ink” in the name so I think that’s fitting too

The plant I got is still little and isn’t going to bloom anytime soon

I like Alala…it’s fun to say!

What does her personality look like?

Any image ?

Is it…

\- Saturday night \& you look amazing lipstick

…or…

\- Sunday morning \& look at her thinking no one’s noticing she’s doing the walk of shame lipstick

(And yes I’ve done that Sunday morning walk, walked right past the church ladies head held high saying Good Morning, still wearing the dance club shorts and shirt from the night before. Who hasn’t?)
