Nature’s Weirdos

Daniel and Frankie talk about something a little lighter in this episode: the weirdo plants of nature. Daniel talks about an article where $1.2 million dollars worth of rare, stolen cactuses were confiscated and returned to Chile.

Then they talk about some strange plants in the plant kingdom including rafflesia, palicourea elata, dodder, faciation aka cresting, coxcomb, crested seguaro, Cynomorium coccineum, monotropa uniflora, Welwitschia mirabilis, protea, artichokes, Nepenthes hemsleyana, and seed pods.
