As the frontman of the Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger is famous throughout the world.
But its not just his talents as a singer which he is famous for. The musician is also renowned for his lips, which he often shows off during his trademark pout.
And if these pictures are anything to go by, it seems this plant is also a fan of the former bad boy of rock.
The unusual plant appears to feature large red lips, just like the Rolling Stones frontman.
With a scientific name of Psychotria Elata, this species also goes by the fitting names of the Hot Lips Plant, Flower of Lips or even Hooker's Lips.
Rather than blowing kisses, the colourful red flowers have evolved to attract pollinators including hummingbirds and butterflies.
The plant can be found in the forested areas of tropical America such as Costa Rica and Colombia.
Mick Jagger was born in 1943 and his astonishing career has spanned more than 50 years.
He is often described as one of the most popular and influential frontmen in the history of rock and roll.
During the height of the Rolling Stones' fame in the 60s and 70s, Jagger was the bad boy of rock, gaining notoriety for drug use and his numerous romantic liaisons.
