Giant Plumose Anemone is a type of species of Sea Anemone. It is found in the very deep waters along the coast if the United States and Canada.
GPA's grow to up tp 3 ft, they're white as seen in the picture to the left and they have a furry Pouf on top. Although they may look like harmless plants, they sting and catch prey with their tentacles.
Their existence stretches back some 145.5 million years. Lotus flowers even survived the Ice Age (1.8 million – 10,000 years ago). Most plants in the northern hemisphere became extinct during this era.Lotus flowers appear most prominently in wetlands and usually grow in mud. But they are also very adaptive to their local environments. They can survive under ice as long as their roots remain in water or mud.
The lotus has a unique daily life cycle of life, death, and rebirth. This has led to the phrase, “lotus flower of life”.That is why it’s meaning is often “rebirth”, and why the flower is frequently tied to spirituality. In Hinduism and Buddhism, they’re considered the most sacred flower. Vietnamese and Indian people often associate the flower with gods and goddesses.
Gerbera flowers were named after Trauggott Gerber, a botanist and physician from the 1700s, and they are one of the longest lasting flowers when used as a cut flower in a vase.
The size of gerbera flowers varies, it could be as small as 7 cm in diameter all the way to the biggest ones which are around 12 cm in diameter. There are currently around 40 documented species of gerberas around the world, and are available in almost all the colours of the rainbow, except blue. In sciencice Gerberas are used as model organisms in studying flower formations.
