They're vital to our survival, too, providing oxygen and food to us, and every other animal… but, while you may think most are quite similar to each other, there are some that are very different.

Each plant featured is more bizarre and intriguing than the last. It's incredible to see the diversity and creativity of nature unfold in such unusual ways. Thank you for shedding light on these extraordinary botanical wonders!

I can still clearly recall a time from my childhood when my family was going through tough times, surviving off our work in agriculture. One year, we faced a severe drought, and for two days, we barely had anything to eat. Then, one morning, my father returned home with just two ears of corn. I swear, that meal is etched in my memory forever, and no food since has ever tasted quite as good as it did that day.

Cool stuff. A lot of carnivorous plants in there, much like our Venus flytrap and pitcher plants.

The weirdest plants are the cattail, the puffball mushrooms, and the umbrella leaves (they make things bounce).

The squirting cucumber grows in wild in Greece where i grew up, it's literally a weed, i used to touch it with a wood to make it explode, as a game.

I worked in a greenhouse in Willoughby Hills Ohio and tried teal hard to get my manager to order 1 but he wouldn't cuz he tried before & they never made it through shipping!! So when I went to visit my dad near Daytona, in New Symerna, I found 1 in a little garden center place by the beach!! It was cool!! Took pics!! It IS AN AWESOME PLANT!!! ❤❤❤

You talk only about the Cape Sundew all the while there exist around 200 types of sundew that al do the exact same .
Also please for future vids: mention their scientific names too please ?

[Alex-ftdf]

😂😂😂😂😂 flying pickles 😆 🤣 😂 xdd what is this thumbnail a circus for flying pickles.

[gazepskotzs]

Omg you mixed up different type of Cobra lilies! The flowers of the cobra lily you showed are from a totally different plant. The carnivorous plant you showed is of the genus Darlingtonia the flower you showed is of the genus Arisaema.
Non scientific names are often used for different plants, like for example the name Rose, it is used for a multitude of different plant genus.
That is why using scientific names is so important. If you did you would not make these mistakes.
Good luck for future vids!

Ok if you say, so! but the only place I have seen a Squirting Cucumber plant is in Israel and a lot of it.
