Below shows an Arrowhead plant that has grown so big from one month ago when it was just a few tiny bulbs (慈菇). Chinese likes to grow 慈菇 during CNY as it implies benevolence. Its arrowhead-shaped leaves that grow skywards signify continuous improvement and progress in all endeavours in the New Year.
One interesting plant is called the Byblis (below). It is a carnivorous plant which has sticky hairs that trap insects when they are fooled into thinking that the glandular secretions are drops of nectar. If you look at the photo below closely, you can see an insect got itself trapped by sticky hairs. The insect is gradually digested where it landed.
