It's from Brazil! 10 native flowers to grow in your garden traduzido por: OPENROUTER

Brazilian biodiversity is one of the largest in the world — and much of this richness may be right next to you, in the backyard, on the balcony, or even on the windowsill. Native flowers don't have to be large trees or difficult to grow.

Many of them are herbaceous, ground-covering, climbers or small in size, ideal for compact spaces, planters and pots. They are species that adapt well to the country's climate, require little maintenance and still attract hummingbirds, butterflies and other pollinators, contributing to the ecological balance even in urban projects.

In addition to being beautiful, it is extremely drought-resistant, which makes it ideal for those looking for practicality. Its flowering cycle is almost year-round, and its flowers open around 11 a.m. — hence the name.
