  • Cool as a cucumber?  It’s true … the inside of a cucumber on the vine measures as much as 20 degrees cooler than the outside air on a warm day.
  • Asparagus and rhubarb are the only vegetables that can reproduce on their own for several growing seasons. All other vegetables must be replanted every year.
  • Potatoes are the most popular vegetable among Americans.
  • Second and third place go to head lettuce and onions.
  • The Daisy got its name because the yellow center resembled the sun. It was commonly known as the “day’s eye” and over time, was eventually called daisy.
  • The world’s largest flower, Rafflesia, can measure up to three feet across. It also smells putrid – the plant is parasitic and commonly known as the stinking corpse lily.
  • One tree can remove 26 pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere annually, equaling 11,000 miles of car emissions.
  • The “Fireweed” was the first plant to bloom in areas that were destroyed by the 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens. It has a beautiful showy purple flower that looks incredible in a mass in a field.
  • The Saguaro Cactus, found in the Southwestern United States, doesn’t grow branches until it is 75 years old.
