Rainforest

We all know that flowers smell good, decorate rooms, and are found all over the world... Including the rain forest.  Rain forests hold the most flowers on earth!  There are many different types of flowers, from the ecuadorian rainforest flower, to the beautiful ginger flower.  Flowers are not only beautiful, but some provide food for creatures that live in the rainforest!  Since some animals eat flowers, the Food chain of the rainforest depends on the flowers that are located inside the rain forests.  insects of all types are attracted to flowers as a food source also, so larger animals do not only eat the flowers, but also the bugs on them!

Because of these reasons, flowers are a necessity to all of those critters that live in the rainforest.  Here are a few flowers that I thought were pretty neat!

* the forest flame is a bright red color with a little bit of yellow in it.  Many people grow these plants in their homes, and some people even think it is the most beautiful flower in the rainforest.

* The emerald ebony may be a tree, but it grows large beautiful flowers, that are a lavender-blue color.  For all of the year, the tree grows these silky, and fun-colored flowers.  These flowers are also grown in homes!

* Angels hair is a flower that grows in groups of bright pink and also white.  A strange fact about this pretty flower is that some countries use it as firewood!

Try searching online or in a book to discover new types of flowers!
