What makes a plant rare and beautiful?
A question of origin and rarity
Many of these rare plants originate from very specific habitats, such as the tropical forests of Central America or the rocky deserts of North America. The difficulty of finding and reproducing them outside their natural habitat increases their rarity and ornamental value.
Unique appearance and exotic flowers
The shape of their leaves, the color of their petals, their seasonal blooms, and their aroma can be absolutely unforgettable. Some have thick stems, others have an aerial or transparent appearance. These characteristics make them the focal point of any interior space.
Even in media outlets or websites like Getty Images, many of these species appear as protagonists in designer interiors or architectural spaces where they are a true element of distinction.
