the most interesting plant I have seen is actually quite boring looking
It is a weed called Thale Cress, also known by it’s latin name “Arabidopsis thaliana”
This plant is studied all over the world because it is a model species, or other the “lab rat” of the plant world
Things which scientists learn from this plant, can be checked for many other plants
I was lucky to work on this plant when I first became a Scientist, so i’m a little bias”
If you want something fun to look at though
google Orchis simia – Monkey orchid., I have never seen this plant in real life. But i really want to, hopefully in the wild. This is on my to do list!
