Ø The smallest plant is an Australian Floating Duckweed. This tiny water plant is just 0.6 mm long and 0.3 mm across.

     Plant Facts:

Ø The Daisy closes its flowers when the light begins to fade in the evening. Crocuses are even more sensitive, and will open when the sun is shining and close when it goes behind a cloud. Wood Sorrel even closes its leaves at night. Evening Primrose closes their petals during the day and opens at night.

Ø The European squirting cucumber shoots out its seeds in a jet of water from its balloon- shaped fruit. Water pressure inside forces the seeds out suddenly.

Ø Giant Kelp is the biggest seaweed of all. It can grow up to 60 meters long and they can form underwater forest.

     Did You Know That:

Ø The Rafflesia  of South East Asia is the biggest plant in the world which measures a meter across!!! This flower smells like rotting meat so it attracts many insects and animals.

Ø Hang Seaweeds outside and it might forecast the weather! If it swells up, rain is on the way. If it dries out, it will be sunny.

Ø The true fruit of an apple is the core, not the juicy bit that you eat.

Ø Belladonna or deadly nightshade has been used as a medicine plant for hundreds of years. Eating the berries, however, can kill you.

Ø The Pitcher plant digests insects. It produces a honey- like substance which attracts insects. They slip and fall into the plant. The plant then digests them.

Ø The average 12 year- old needs about 12,500 calories of food energy a day. A portion of chips will give about 270 calories, 2 pork sausages 400, a grilled steak 520, an apple 70, and a portion of lettuce 5.

Ø The word’s most massive tree- the General Sherman giant sequoia in USA weighs 2,000 tonnes. It contains enough wood to make 5 billion matches!!!
