The World we live in is filled with more than just humans. And one of those things is plants. The brilliant and eclectic array of plants in this world can me more than spell binding. So without further ado, five FünFacts about the magnificent flora of the world:
#5
Ever seen a black flower? No species of wild plant produces a flower or blossom that is absolutely black, and so far, none has been developed artificially.
#4
One bushel of corn will sweeten more than 400 cans of soda-pop. Finally, all that high fructose corn syrup makes sense. And I though it was something unhealthy!
#3
We all know Tomato is fruit and not a vegetable. But did you know, Pineapple is a berry.
#2
Both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew cannabis sativa(marijuana) or as some of you might know it as, 'weed, bro!' on their plantations. This was before Gonsalvez v Reich, correct?
#1
Where does all this oxygen, that billions of us breathe come from? One would easily think, trees but, 50% of the worlds oxygen comes from algae and not trees. Trees consume more oxygen than they give out.
