15 Weird and Bizarre Plants

Duo fish greets everyone, our planet is home to an immense variety of life, much of which is a wide variety of

plants

that cover the world, considering the size of the planet and the multiple types of climates that exist, it would not be difficult to imagine that . There are some strange and unusual

plants

out there that many have not even heard of number 15. Romanesco frequently called Romanesco broccoli Romanesco is actually more closely related to cauliflower, although all broccoli, cauliflower and kale are part of the same species, the most visually striking part. of Romanesco is the fact that it follows a roughly fractal design if M.C Escher and Fibonacci had the opportunity to create an edible plant together romanesco would probably be close to the final design the genetic reasons for romanesco's appearance are currently unknown, although I don't know I doubt it that if we had more vegetables that looked like this, children wouldn't sit at the table turning their noses up so often number 14. the dragon's blood tree dracina cinibari and the dragon's blood tree are two species of dragon's blood trees alive today in Since we know which ones live on islands on opposite sides of Africa, both are in danger of extinction considering that their habitats are small islands with a subtropical climate or a desert climate with hardly any rain.

Dragon's blood trees get their really interesting common names thanks to the bright red resin they secrete, which has been used for dyes and herbal remedies since ancient times; In fact, its uses range from curing diarrhea to being used as a varnish on violin wood, that's not to say that Dragon Blood resin really works as a panacea. It is just what the natives have taken for hundreds of years, unfortunately due to the desertification of Africa along with the traditional uses of the trees, the dragon's blood tree becomes more threatened. Every 13th decade, lithops become part of the ice plant family.

Lithops are a native succulent plant. south of Africa, that's right, an ice plant in Africa, apart from the infuriating fact that lithoffs have a name that ends with an S, even when referring to individuals. Lithops are an incredibly interesting species of plant. Lithops grow as a small plant that is only a few centimeters tall. and each individual lithops only has two leaves or four when they grow too matted to replace the old ones, the two leaves are actually what they look like the stem of the plant divided in two and contain the water that keeps the lithos alive in an arid climate Where they typically receive only a few inches of rain per year due to their small stature and dark green to brown color.

Lithops often make people and animals think they are simply rocks or pebbles when they grow next to rocks, considering the fact that most animals don't. Ingesting rocks seems to be a good strategy - the poor little things are so well evolved. to absorb water they can easily be overwatered by a compassionate plant keeper and will continue to absorb water until they break off their leaves and die number 12. prostitutes Poker Lips, also known as psychatria elata, is a plant best known for the resemblance of her flowers with her lips covered with an atrocious amount of lipstick. In reality, this resemblance to the lips only lasts a short period of time, as the true flower emerges from the inside of the lips after a few days, another curious fact about Hooker's lips is that psychotria, the genius of The plant, gets its name due to the fact that many of the plants in the genus produce DMT, a psychedelic chemical, so yeah, I guess if you ingest a little bit of this plant, you might actually think the plant has lips. kissable, although I doubt it will be the center of your attention while a rainbow Godzilla rides a strawberry in your hallucinations number 11.

The Cobra Lily is quite strange to think of Northern California or Oregon as places full of exotic plants. Considering that they are quite close to large human settlements that lurk in swamps near the coast, there is Darlingtonia californica, also known as Cobra Lily. Just looking at the way Cobra Lily pictures grow enough to understand where Cobra gets the name. is in no way related to lilies, so the second part of the name was simply misnamed by someone who was obviously not a botanist, just below the head of the cobra-shaped images is an entrance that attracts hungry insects that would enjoy eating the nutritious sap that will eventually cover the excrement exit after entering the cobra lily, however, since the walls of the plant are almost translucent, they confuse prey with false exits until they are finally guided into the water with enzymes. digestive tracts near the bottom of the cobra-shaped leaves.

It's basically the nightmare version of a bug fun house that ends with digestion number 10. The Titan Arum a plant with a flower that may be considered the largest in the world The Air and Flower Titan is nine feet tall and three feet long. width on average Titan air takes about seven to ten years to bloom for the first time in two to ten years to bloom after that, that may seem unfortunate considering how incredible it is to behold such a huge flower, however, the benefits of the rare flower spawn of the tainerms are easy to appreciate.

Unfortunately, it smells good after the flower blooms, releasing a variety of sulfur compounds and other smelly chemicals that produce attractive aromas such as body odor, rotten fish, sweaty socks, and mothballs, although they are particularly repugnant to humans. Pollinating bees native to Sumatra apparently love the plant and pollinate it quickly. In the three days that the flower lasts, the number nine is more witchy when seeing images of the world, a year in which you can believe that you are seeing a pile of discarded plant waste or banana leaves; However, a closer inspection of the plant allows you to learn some fascinating things.

Things found growing only in the Namib Desert in southwestern Africa, walwicia is named after the Austrian botanist Friedrich Well Whichia, who first cataloged it. Growing on a grand scheme in one of the hottest and driest climates in the world brings with it a number of challenges. The most obvious is to collect water in a place where it only rains a few milliliters a year, luckily for the well whose two leaves are specialized to collect water in the form of fog that forms in the morning hours where it lives. Yes, I said two leaves. like which only has two leaves that continue to grow over time, not only that but many of which are believed here to be centuries old and are considered living fossils because they are not flowering plants but produce cones. like carnivorous trees I must say that her nickname in the Afrikaans language Tui black Annie dude wins the award for the most creative and fun nickname in this video number eight the insect plant Original roar when thinking of a carnivorous plant everyone imagines a Venus flytrap or maybe a large Pitcher Plant that traps its prey and digests it, absorbing its nutrients in the process.

Of course, there are other variations of carnivorous plants as well, but none like rawigila. Rorigula has a sticky resin that can trap insects on all of its leaves and stem, but it lacks it. the enzymes that allow all other carnivorous plants to digest insects, instead it forms one of the coolest symbiotic relationships between a plant and an insect, original raw and widely called insect plant, catches insects and the pamyridia insects that live in The capsid insects that live on the plant spend their entire lives on the plant and even have specialized feet to prevent them from getting trapped in the resin that the rourigilla uses for nutritional benefit.

They were original catch other insects with the number seven the snow plant Unlike most plants, this red parasitic plant can't actually photosynthesize to feed itself and must rely on a special relationship. It does well with my cortisol mushrooms. The fungus grows with the roots of the plant and allows it to attach to the roots of trees where it can spread water and nutrients. to the snow plant and at the same time protect it from pathogens, in return, the snow plant provides carbon to the fungi, making the relationship mutualistic. The snow plant is found in forests near Oregon in northern California and only flowers to reproduce, uh, that's two plants. located in Oregon and California, which are quite strange.

The number six Jan lisia is found in Timmy's aquatic soils throughout southern America and Africa. Gentilicia is also known as the corkscrew plant because of its specialized leaves and roots that allow it to capture prey again, practically everyone knows this. about the Venus fly trap and how it uses a mechanism to trap flies and other insects to digest and get nutrients, but jinlicia does things a little differently if you haven't noticed yet janlesia is a genus of very small semi-aquatic plants with no discernible shape to capture prey by simply looking at it on the surface, however, beneath the moist soil there are specialized leaves that form a trap for microbes such as protozoa that the plant digests for nutrients.

The spiral pattern formed by the specialized leaves is thought to support microbes. leash long enough to digest them, not that microbes are really known for solving mazes in the first place, gin lisia are just another illustration of the fact that even the smallest things can be efficient predators in nature number five, the jabu takaba or more specifically the plinia cauliflora apologies to Portuguese-speaking viewers for altering the pronunciation of the nickname plinia cauliflora. I'll be sure to stick with a scientific name. plinia cauliflora is a fruit tree that belongs to the Myrtle family, but for anyone who is not from Brazil, this tree has a big difference from the usual fruit trees you know, instead of shedding flowers on its branches and then producing fruits like the Like most other trees, many cauliflowers produce flowers and fruits on their trunk.

The fruit has a black skin with a sweet white pulp inside with four strangely shaped seeds. They are supposedly as common in Brazilian markets as grapes elsewhere in the world, which is probably why it is also nicknamed the Brazilian grape tree. These trees are also kept as bonsais. in some places around the world not something I really expected number four, the cape sundew, part of the genus rosera, cape sunday was a carnivorous plant that traps insects, both large and small, and digests them for additional nutrients, an attribute unique to Cape Sunday. was the fact that not only does it have leaf tentacles bathed in sweet, sticky mucilids that attract and trap prey, but said tentacles actually coil up once prey comes into contact with them to grab them as tightly as possible.

Cape sundew is actually one of the easiest carnivorous plants to grow and keep alive indoors and they are surely a good resource for cleaning up unwanted fruit flies. It is so good at growing that it is actually spreading as an invasive species in many parts of the world, including New Zealand, which is home to several endangered species. of insects number three the waterwheel plant right now in the video I have mentioned the Venus fly traps and how well known they are sometimes, despite this, did you know that there is a plant that acts as an underwater version of the Venus flytrap, that's right, the waterwheel plant is found all over the world in random areas of water, except in America, and in places of extreme coal they terrorize small underwater invertebrates by closing their traps in just 10 to 20 milliseconds , which makes it one of the fastest. moving plants in the world is not that there is very tough competition inside each small mouth-shaped trap there are small hairs that must move to activate the trap before the digestive enzymes break down any small invertebrates that have been trapped inside of the water wheel.

The plant also floats near the surface of the water and does not grow roots, but instead continues to grow one stem while the other side dies. Unfortunately, the waterwheel plant is increasingly endangered as water sources become contaminated with human waste products and temperature changes number two. The sensitive plant that has a ridiculous number of nicknames is Mimosa pudica, more commonly known as the sensitive plant. These fern-like plants are also called walnuts due to the fact that they close their leaves and fall off if they rub against ORF that comes into contact with fire. It is supposed to be a defense mechanism to protect it against predators, although for some reason we humans seem to think that this adaptation is interesting and cute, since it seems that the plant is shy, although native toSouth and Central America, because people seem to enjoy growing these plants.

They are now a widespread invasive weed that is punched throughout Plant Society in exactly the same way that timid anime lovers have punched through human society, both flinching when poked with touch, number one African haidora, obviously Found in Africa, according to the name, this parasitic plant actually combines the characteristics of many unusual plants that exist today. Not only is it incapable of photosynthesis and it is a plant that must act as a parasite on the roots of other plants but it It also has a flower that smells absolutely terrible. After gathering enough nutrients for reproduction, it grows a large orange fleshy flower that resembles a split melon from below the ground and produces such a wonderful smell that it attracts carrion and insects. dung beetles.

Yes, in fact, its flower has the smell of fresh fecal matter and is pollinated by beetles that obviously feed on dung and animal corpses. an attractive flower that any decent gardener would want thanks
