here is a picture of one of the many orchids that grow in tropical rain forests
1. Bengal bamboo- it can be found in the Southeast Asian rainforest. It grows very well in damp areas with a lot of rainfall. Can grow from 40 to 80 feet in height.
2. Orchid- they are very common flowers in tropical areas. Orchids come in many beautiful colors. They each have three petals and three petal-like leaves.
3. Lianas- they don’t need much sunlight to grow. Their growth begins on the floor and then they wrap around neighboring plants and trees for support. And when they reach the top flowering and vegetation usually happens.
4. Carnivores pitcher plant-the majority of them are found in Southeast Asia. It eats insects that fly into its mouth when looking for food.
5. Strangler fig- starts its life high up in the trees. It is carried by birds and monkeys who eat the plant down to the forest floor. There they grow. The little tree is surrounded by trees and later on suffocates.
