Reply:Do I understand the question correctly? Are you looking for a tropical plant that is very difficult to get flowers from?





Here%26#039;s an extreme and interesting example. Rafflesia is the largest flower in the world. The flowers may be over 100 cm in diameter, and weigh up to 10 kg. However, the plant has not been grown in cultivation. It lives in the forest in Southeast Asia, in the roots of host plants. It is a parasite, and has no stems, leaves or true roots. It flowers rarely, and that is the part of the only part of the plant that is ever seen. It is often located by its overpowering stench.





Edit: I did some more looking and found that people were able to cultivate a Rafflesia plant and get it to bloom in 2004. Cultivation of the plant has been attempted since 1929--this is the first success. See the second reference.

Maintaining temperatures between 20 and 30oC can be maintained almost year round, to which the plants respond magnificently, providing a lush tangle of vegetation characteristic of equatorial regions. As in the Arid Plant and Plants and People (Warm Temperate) greenhouses, plants having worldwide economic importance are grown, especially for the benefit of schools, as well as the general public who may be unfamiliar with plants (e.g., banana, carambola, or star fruit, sugar apple, and spice-bearing plants such as cardamom, peppers and ginger). Ornamental plants, too, are well represented (e.g., Hibiscus, Anthurium spp. or flamingo flowers, Madagascar periwinkle, Hymenocallis spp., Tibouchina urveleana, Angels trumpet, Canna indica or Indian shot, Bird of Paradise or Strelitzia reginae, Impatiens and many more).
