Mrs.Kissy Plant A.K.A Kissing Lips Plant

Anybody that can't find love, here ya go!

The first time I saw this plant I thought it was photoshopped... until I got kissed in the face with it! The red "lips" you see in the picture actually is the form of the plant before the flower emerges. Tiny, white, star shaped flowers would emerge when it matures.

The Asian Watermeal

oh don't mind me just taking my daily protein bar from this lake

The "wolffia globosa, aka Asian watermeal" is known as the world smallest fruits and is in the que to potentially be the next big thing! The Asian watermeal grows easily in water, and actually purifies any body of water it grows in. It grows very easily and is filled with protein and omega-3 fatty acid making it a great healthy food source! And, Gluten Free ;)
