I bought a Lemonquat last week. It is literally a tiny lemon tree for areas without much sun and minus degrees in the winter. I tried the fruit today and I haven't tasted a lemon this amazing since.... 2018? I hope I won't kill this one. And I am also trying to sprout the seeds.
They are called Lemonquat because it is a breed mix of kumquats and lemons. And this thing was randomly sitting around in a discounter market... Absolutely insane.
Rafflesias are one of the largest flowers in the world, and smell like rotting meat in order to attract flies who pollinate the flower :]
Venus Fly trap, it looks like an inanimate object, then it eats flies one minute after they land in said plant. So stealthy.
My favorite plant is the porcelain flower! They have pretty starshaped flowers that are bundeled together. And they produce a little drop of nectar in the middle that smells like honey. If you're interested I have a picture of them on my profile (without wanting to lure someone there 😆)
There is a tree in my language called "Apenes skrekk" (Araucaria araucana)
which when directly translated means "The monkeys horror"
Wood sorrel looks sort of like clovers but with hearts for leaves instead of sad circles. I call it lemongrass because it tastes like lemons. Sometimes they make buds for their flowers and it feels like eating a bitter sack of spider eggs. 10/10 plant though.
Chinese Elm or Lacebark Elm is a cool tree that has yellowish and orange bark underneath it so it looks cool and spotted from a distance
there is this tree that i made up! its called a twisted olive tree! i gets pretty big, but they are invasive. they prefer to grow on hilsides or rocky terrain. they come alive at night and releases their spores from the pods after their fruit have dropped but those spores will attach to something and grow on it over night. it can kill living things if it lands and grows on it while it is sleeping. but anyways, there is a picture i drew if you’d like to see what it looks like
Oh woah i never knew the real name for bermuda buttercup, always just called it sour grass lol
