All life on earth is dependent on the energy from plants. All our food and all the oxygen in the air we breathe have their source in the miracle of photosynthesis. Plants also provide clothing, shelter, and products from paper, to wonder drugs. They are so basic that we tend to take them for granted. Yet consider that some plants are carnivorous, some are luminescent, and some are even self-planting, like these Filaree seeds drilling themselves into the ground. Even so, plants haven't received much respect. We mow and walk on them, burn and poison them, pick and eat them. Let's take a little time to realize how incredible a tiny green sprout can be. Let's meet some "PECULIAR PLANTS."
