Weird but True Plants奇怪但真實的植物

Giant water lily： a big dish in water

大王蓮：水中“大盤子”

大王蓮長在熱帶雨林的湖泊或河流里。 Their leaves are big and strong. A child can" sit on the leave.

Pitcher plant： a hungry hunter

豬籠草：“饑餓獵人”

Pitcher plants are cute. They’re red and yellow. They look strange. Their food is strange too. They eat insects（昆蟲）， mice， birds， and even snakes.

Their lids have nectar（花蜜）.

The lids are very slippy. Bugs like to

lick on their lids. Then they may fall

into the pitchers.馬來王豬籠草1小

Cactus： I can scream

仙人掌：我會“咆哮”

Plants are usually quiet. 但當它們受傷或者缺水時，它們會發出超聲波。Cactus， tomatoes， grapes can scream.

We can’t hear their sounds. 但如果將話筒放在它們的旁邊，你就可以聽到像氣泡破裂的聲音。

Squirting cucumber： I can shoot

噴瓜：我會“打槍”

Squirting cucumber is not the cucumbers we eat. 它的葉子毛茸茸的，開出的花是黃色的。They can eject the seeds out. Be careful！ 它的汁液可是有毒的。Keep far away from it！
