Jade Vine flower

The jade vine or Strongylodon macrobotrys grows exclusively in the rainforests of the Philippines. The vines can grow as long as thirteen meters, while the collections of flowers on the vines can stretch up to ninety centimeters. The jade vine’s color ranges from blue to light green. Unfortunately, the beautiful, claw-shaped flower is in danger of going extinct due to its habitat being destroyed at a rapid pace.

Ghost Orchid flower

The ghost orchid, named for the shape of its petals, can be found in Florida, Cuba, and the Bahamas. The flower faces immense difficulty reproducing. It has no leaves, nor does it depend on photosynthesis. It also does not manufacture its own food, and requires specific trees to serve as its hosts.
