Dear all, Hope you are doing well. I would like to share with you interesting facts to know about the plants, and hope you will find them useful. Whenever we think about the greenery, we immediately remember what we see on a daily basis, which are trees and flowers, yet can't imagine how many different types of plants exist as well as we eat! According to statistics, an average size tree can provide enough wood to make 170,100 pencils. Also, Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on the planet (SoftSchool.com). There are over 1,500 species of bamboo that are native to Asia, Australia, and other parts of the world. This tall thin plant can grow 91 meters every day. That's amazing, isn't it? Would you believe if I said tulips were equal to gold? In the 1600s, many types of Tulips were introduced, while people considered its bulbs worth gold. However, as everything has its end, this notion was ruined almost after 3 decades. As I have mentioned above, would like to draw your attention on plants. For instance, carrots used to be purple, not orange or yellow. The orange carrots we eat today were a genetic mutation. Also over 100 billion bananas are consumed annually, can you imagine how much is that?! Whenever you look at the strawberry, there are small holes on it but would you ever think that these are the seeds? Strawberries are the only fruits which have in and outside seeds. Hope I could convey, thanks! Resources: -ww.softschool.com -https://www.goodnet.org/ |
