Did you know that flowers native to North Africa still grow in the ruins of the Colosseum, their seed thought to have been brought to Italy in the fur of exotic animals displayed by the Romans. A 19th century survey found 420 species of plant and 56 types of grass growing inside.
Male tropical bees use perfume collected from bucket orchids in their courtship dances. The orchids trap the bees, glue pollen to their bodies, and eventually release them so they can find another orchid, delivering the pollen and collecting more perfume. (Coryanthes macrantha)
Glow-in-the-dark ghost mushrooms. (Omphalotus nidiformis)
Meet the cobweb houseleek (Sempervivum arachnoideum) - the plant that can manufacture its own spiders' webs. In nature the cobweb hairs protect the plant from the elements in its exposed habitat.
If I'm not mistaken, one of the world's most amazing plants! The cannonball tree (Couroupita guianensis) -- one of the ripe fruits falling on your head is likely to kill you. The foul smell of the exploded fruit attracts animals which disperse the seeds. thingsguyana.com/the-cannonball…

The skeleton flower's petals turn transparent when it rains. (Diphylleia grayi)
A berry from central Africa is the world's shiniest living thing. (Pollia condensata)
These are the pollen grains of the venus flytrap. (Dionaea muscipula) Photo: Kevin Mackenzie
The all-blue werewere-kokako mushroom from New Zealand. (Entoloma hochstetteri)
The sacred golden lotus banana from Yunnan, China. It doesn't produce edible bananas, but its stem is fermented to make wine, so there's that. (Ensete lasiocarpum)
Deadly beautiful. All parts of the angel's trumpet contain tropane alkaloids which cause hallucination, paralysis, delirium and, well, death. They are thought to be extinct in the wild, and exist only in cultivation. (Brugmansia spp.)
This is the black pepper plant (Piper nigrum)
Leather made from Cactus: It's elastic, customizable and breathable like animal leather. It is also soft to touch. It is suitable for luxury production.
Jackfruit is an obvious choice for vegan burgers, with its flesh the consistency of pork and a neutral taste that absorbs the flavor of sauces and seasonings. The fruit itself can weigh 55kg, or 120lbs. (Artocarpus heterophyllus)
Everything about the snake gourd vine makes me unreasonably happy (Trichosanthes cucumerina var. anguina)
Rainbow roses are made, not grown: after cutting, the stem is split and placed in different dyes, which are drawn up and color the white petals. All 1,000 rainbow rose seed listings on eBay are a scam.
Here in the south of France it seems like every wall is covered in trumpet flower vines. The forked stigma, or pollen receptor, in the center of the flower closes up before your eyes within seconds of pollen grains landing on it. (Campsis radicans)
The arum lily family has some of the weirdest plants, but there's so much beauty too. Some like the peace lily are loved as houseplants—others are super-stinky to attract (and, often, then kidnap) pollinating flies. This painting by Olof Winkler was published in 1897.
Durian fruit might be famous for an aroma that can evacuate buildings, but in the wild the smell does a brilliant job at attracting animals such as orangutans, which go wild over the unique-tasting fruit and deposit its seeds far from the parent tree. (Durio zibethinus)

Titan tater: A New Zealand couple unearthed a huge 17.4-pound potato that is quite possibly the largest on record. It could also be the ugliest. “We couldn't believe it. It was just huge.” They have named it Doug. apne.ws/gw1P2UI #odd

Inteligencia superior de esta orquídea: Atrapa a las abejas tropicales macho, pega polen a sus cuerpos y las libera para que vayan a otra orquídea, entreguen el polen y recolecten más perfume. Y la abeja macho lo usa en sus bailes de cortejo. (Coryanthes macrantha)
Male tropical bees use perfume collected from bucket orchids in their courtship dances. The orchids trap the bees, glue pollen to their bodies, and eventually release them so they can find another orchid, delivering the pollen and collecting more perfume. (Coryanthes macrantha)

@AmazingPlants I love these and have planted a number of them in 2 different spots in the garden. The others are burnt orange, orange (B. Sanguinea) and apricot/salmon. Interestingly (to me), th shrub pictured here has both single & dbl flowers. It’s meant to be dbl. 😶
