Don’t expect to see and smell lots of flowers in a rain forest. Most are high up in the branches, as close to sunlight as they can get.
Even so, you can see plenty of interesting plants and flowers from the forest floor.
The plants and trees of the rain forest are some of the Earth’s most valuable treasures. About one-fourth of all medicines come from rain forest plants. So far, only 1 percent of the plants have been tested for healing properties.
