Answer 4

The maco flower is indigenous to the lovely twin island national of Trinidad and Tobago. It can be found primarily in South Trinidad, but grows densely in several other places such as Arima, Toco, Tunapuna and in the capitol city of Port-of – Spain. The flowers grow freely all over Tobago.

The flower itself is quite beautiful. It is very colourful and fragrant, growing on long vines that seem to go on for miles. The flower however displays a strange and puzzling behavioral pattern that has modern science baffled.

In an almost shy way, the buds open, make a complete turn as if looking around and spout fragrance when they are not aware they are being observed. As soon as the observer makes their presence known, the flower it snaps its buds shut!

These beauties are grown and tended to by locals of Trinbago called macomers. As these flowers require a lot of attention, macomers have dedicated their lives to the care of the macos.  They speak to them lovingly, encouraging them to bloom and are actively involved in spreading these flowers all over the nation.  The flowers thrive in shadow and require tremendous amounts of fertilizer for optimum growth potential.

Maco flowers are proudly worn in the lapels and on the dresses of  both members of Government and the Opposition and I understand that there is a serious push to have the current National flower the Chaconia replaced by the Maco.

The Maco flowers has been grafted to produce the lovely Damfass and  Ahmindingyuhbusiness flowers as well as the stunning Ahspreadingyuhbusinessallovertown tree.
