Some flowers have the ability to attract animals to carry out the so-called pollination, and those are the showy flowers. Through a simple process, they allow seeds and fruits to be produced, thus becoming exclusive flowers that everyone wants to get.
In many cases, the flowers themselves can emanate their perfume at certain times of the day to attract their dams, which can range from animals like birds and insects to meteorological phenomena like water or wind.

The last claim
Amorphophallus titanum has managed to steal the heart of the lovers of rare plants.
This herbaceous plant became considered as the “largest flower in the world” at the University of Bonn (Germany) with a height of 2.74 meters in height and even got Guinness awards.
Original from Indonesia, it is also known as the “corpse flower” because of its particular smelly odor with which it attracts pollinating insects.
In fact, it is this foul odor that attracts pollinating insects to make pollen exchange and reproduce.
Its flowering is almost non-existent, since it only occurs three or four times throughout its life.
In Canarius we are lucky to have the Crinum Lavrani, considered as the most wanted species within the range of showy flowers.
Its white and perfumed flowers fall vertically before opening and they do it from night until noon.
This herbaceous species from the low coastal forests of Madagascar appears mainly in the summer and its size ranges from 70 to 100 centimeters.
The exotic plants we have at Canarius are grown within greenhouses in different areas of Tenerife, where the use of chemicals is kept to a minimum. Some of our nurseries are completely organic, and others are energetically self-sufficient.
