♦Most plants flower every year, but some take much longer. The century plant needs many years to flower, and then it dies. There is a more amazing plant from South America called Puya raimondii. It takes 150 years to flower, and then it also dies.
♦The smallest flowering plant in the world is thought to be the common watermeal. Its leaves are only 1mm across!
♦Bamboos have amazing flowering habits. There are many different kinds of bamboos, and they all have different habits. A few kinds of bamboos flower each year, but most wait much longer. What most amazes you is that all the bamboos of the same kind flower at exactly the same time, wherever they are growing. Nobody knows how they do this.
