About tropical rainforest plants?

Help on finding a flower that is very attractive to butterflies (especially because of their color) please tell me the name of the FLOWER not tree....also, can you tell me the dangers that might be happened to the plant (especially natural ones such as by animals or disasters, not caused litterally by us humans)

About tropical rainforest plants?
Why did you say "name of the FLOWER not tree" -- you do realize that all angiosperm trees produce flowers (and that the flower produced by the tree does not have a separate name)? Perhaps you meant herb or shrub...





To the poster talking about specificity of butterflies: it's not true that all butterflies pollinate only a single plant species. Granted, there are some amazing cases of specialized pollination in butterflies, but that is not universal.
Reply:Butterflies are very specific. They will only go for one plant so you decide which butterfly you like and get the right plant. For example, here in North Queensland we grow Euodea spp to attract Ulysses Blue butterflys.
