The presence of flowering plants attracts a community of pollinating insects, which will be all the more diverse the greater the variety of flowers available. Each plant species attracts certain pollinators; some species are more attractive to bees or butterflies, while others are preferred by flies, for example. There are even plants, called super-generalists, whose flowers are visited by a vast array of different insects.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns alignfull stk-block-columns stk-block stk-9b941a9\" data-block-id=\"9b941a9\"><style>.stk-9b941a9 {margin-bottom:30px !important;}.stk-9b941a9-column{max-width:50% !important;min-width:auto !important;--stk-column-gap:50px !important;}@media screen and (max-width: 1023px){.stk-9b941a9-column{max-width:90% !important;min-width:auto !important;margin-right:auto !important;margin-left:auto !important;}}@media screen and (max-width: 767px){.stk-9b941a9-column{row-gap:25px !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-9b941a9-column alignfull\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-14df67d\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"14df67d\"><style>.stk-14df67d-container{margin-top:0px !important;margin-right:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;margin-left:0px !important;}.stk-14df67d {align-self:flex-start !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-14df67d-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-14df67d-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-a05966c\" data-block-id=\"a05966c\"><style>.stk-a05966c .stk-img-wrapper{width:100% !important;}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-2724\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ull.es\/centros\/jardin-flora-canaria\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/03\/IMG_20220428_124039.jpg\" width=\"1200\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ull.es\/centros\/jardin-flora-canaria\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/03\/IMG_20220428_124039.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.ull.es\/centros\/jardin-flora-canaria\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/03\/IMG_20220428_124039-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ull.es\/centros\/jardin-flora-canaria\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/03\/IMG_20220428_124039-1024x461.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ull.es\/centros\/jardin-flora-canaria\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/03\/IMG_20220428_124039-768x346.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ull.es\/centros\/jardin-flora-canaria\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/03\/IMG_20220428_124039-375x169.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.ull.es\/centros\/jardin-flora-canaria\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/03\/IMG_20220428_124039-750x338.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.ull.es\/centros\/jardin-flora-canaria\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2023\/03\/IMG_20220428_124039-1140x513.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns alignfull stk-block-columns stk-block stk-c84e898\" data-block-id=\"c84e898\"><style>.stk-c84e898 {margin-bottom:25px !important;}.stk-c84e898-column{max-width:50% !important;min-width:auto !important;--stk-column-gap:50px !important;}@media screen and (max-width: 1023px){.stk-c84e898-column{max-width:90% !important;min-width:auto !important;margin-right:auto !important;margin-left:auto !important;}}@media screen and (max-width: 767px){.stk-c84e898-column{row-gap:25px !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-c84e898-column alignfull\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-ac1b81e\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"ac1b81e\"><style>.stk-ac1b81e-container{margin-top:0px !important;margin-right:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;margin-left:0px !important;}.stk-ac1b81e {align-self:flex-start !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-ac1b81e-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-ac1b81e-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-1cf7fb8\" data-block-id=\"1cf7fb8\"><style>.stk-1cf7fb8 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:16px !important;}@media screen and (max-width: 1023px){.stk-1cf7fb8 .stk-block-text__text{font-size:16px !important;}}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">We have planted a wide variety of native and endemic species, as these are best adapted to our climate and native pollinators, after thousands of years of co-evolution. Furthermore, we have avoided using plants from other islands, as they can cause hybridization problems, and we have eliminated most exotic ornamental plants, since these tend to be more attractive to introduced pollinators than to native ones and, in some cases, could even escape and spread in the wild. And it&#039;s not just the cultivated plants in the garden that are important; many of the so-called &quot;weeds&quot; that grow spontaneously are also crucial.
