Passionflower
Passionflowers climb up
other plants and hang on
by their curly tendrils. Their
flowers are visited by bees
and hummingbirds, and each
one lasts for just a single day.
Plant piggyback
In a tropical forest, the place to look for
orchids is often not on the ground, but
high up in the trees. Many orchids live
by “perching” on branches or tree
trunks. They don’t do any harm to
the trees. However, by being higher
up, they do get a better share
of the daylight.
Orchids can
also be grown
as houseplants.
