There are different types of plants and flowers all over Nepal . The forests near the snow line all over the Himalayas are mostly dominated by fir trees. Birch forests join the fir forests at an elevation of above 3000m. Low rhododendron evergreen forests can also be found alongside the birch forests. The forests are open with the occasional grasslands in between. The winters are so severe in the region that vegetative growth virtually stops in the winters.

Alpine scrub grasslands take over from the dwarf sub-alpine forests. These grasslands start at an elevation of above 3000m grow up to the region just below the snowline.

In the inner dry valleys of Nepal , dwarf rhododendrons grow along with patches of grasslands. This vegetation succeeds the sub-alpine forests and merges with the snowline at a higher elevation.

Just below the snowline is a growth of dry alpine scrub. Trees are absent. Shrubs along with patches of pasture. The scrub thrives in shady depressions and along streams formed by snow melt waters. Dwarfed junipers also occur sporadically. The soil is very poor in nutrients. Dry arctic conditions are experienced, and snow covers the area for 5 to 6 months ever year. In the summers. migratory cattle graze on the shrubs.

However in lesser altitudes Nepal many types of flowers thrive in Nepal . In places around Chitwan the predominant vegetation is Sal ( shorea robusta). There are also other plants like Indian rosewood, Kapok and Acacia catechu trees. The Rhododendron however is the most prominent and widely found flower in Nepal.
