Plants

So recently in class, we have been learning about plants and all sorts of interesting things they can do. You would honestly be surprised at the ingenuity of our flora. So today I'm going to share with you some of the interesting things we have found out about plants.

1. Plants are Mobile.
This one shocked me to be honest. I've always thought growing up that plants couldn't move, but some plants are surprisingly mobile.
Different plants use different ways of moving around to find the best growing spots, to get in to the sun, or protect  its seedlings. A plant that can do this is the Liana plant which has developed glider like petals which hold the seeds in the middle and fly the seeds to a more advantageous growing spot.

2. Different Plants Grow Better in Different Places.

I didn't know that different species of plants grow better in different places/seasons. Which is apparently common knowledge. I learnt this from our little garden experiment.

3. Plants can Pollinate Differently than One Another.

I learnt that there are different methods of pollination depending on the species of plant. Some plants can be pollinated by wind, some can be pollinated by birds, insects, bats, and other small mammals.

4.You can Drown Plants Quite Easily
Ummmm... I don't really need to explain how I found that out..


So, those are some of the interesting facts that I have found out about plants. As always i hope you have an awesome day and I'll see you next time! :P
