This collection contains a variety of plants that have one thing in common: the presence of amazing, one might say exclusive, qualities. Some of them are dangerous to humans, others just look very strange.
Laughter flower
In the vast territory of Asia from the Caspian Sea to China there is a plant called the "Flower of Laughter". Its seeds, the size of a pea, can cause a person to laugh for no reason for half an hour, after which the person calmly and serenely falls asleep. The scientific name of this plant is "Indian Datura".
Doll eyes
This plant is called the white raven, although it is often called "doll eyes" among the people. This plant does not possess any unusual properties, which cannot be said about its appearance. And it looks as if some maniac planted the eyes of his victims on a creepy red snag.
Devil's Claw
Devil's Claw, or, in scientific terms, Harpagophytum is a plant that is distributed mainly in South and South-West Africa. Its fruits are somewhat similar in properties to our burdock. They are also prickly, and are also able to cling to passing animals and people's clothes. The difference is in appearance. The devil's claw is like some kind of evil spider, ready to pounce on you at any moment.
Jericho rose
An amazing plant common in the North American Chihuahua Desert. It is famous for the fact that for a long time, up to several years, it can be in "sleep mode" - a dried state in the form of a dense ball. However, when water appears, the plant instantly "wakes up" and it looks like real magic.
Fraxinella
Ash or Diktamnus is a very unusual poisonous plant. Flowers and boxes with seeds are dangerous: in no case should you touch them, let alone smell them. At the moment of touch, a person does not feel anything, but after about a day there are signs of burns with the formation of blisters. After a while, they burst, revealing the exposed meat. What substances in this plant cause burns is still unclear. The burns will heal over time, but they will not disappear without a trace, there will be little aesthetic scars and scars, extensive dark spots that last for about a year. But it is even more strange that all this happens exclusively in sunny weather, on a cloudy day the ash tree is safe.
African Hydnora
Carnivorous plant found on all continents except Antarctica. The sundew secretes small droplets of mucus, with the help of which it catches insects and eats them.
Nepentes Attenborough
Carnivorous plants are not uncommon, there are many types of them. But Nepentes Attenborough is perhaps the most unusual of them all. It was first discovered in 2000 on the slopes of Mount Victoria on the island of Palawan (Philippines). The plant has a pitcher-shaped trap, into which its victims fall. The largest of the found "jugs" of plants of this species had a volume of 1.5 liters. And although the plant is nominally considered insectivorous, there are cases when it ate even small rodents.
Bloody tooth
The official name of this mushroom is Hydnellum Peka, but more often it is called "Bloody Tooth". However, it looks more like used chewing gum dripping with blood. And what makes it even more unusual is that, for some reason, it smells like strawberries. There is no need to eat this mushroom, because it is one of the most poisonous in the world. Even just licking it can get serious poisoning.
Chinese mouse
Perhaps one of the most disgusting looking plants imaginable. The plant got its name for its unusual black flowers, reminiscent of the shape of bats hanging upside down. The flowers reach 30 centimeters in diameter, and the long black "mustaches" that grow from them are 70 centimeters or more.

Another robot, this time on wheels. Its creator is a 49-year-old electrician who introduced himself simply as Wu.
Some Chinese inventions are simple - for example, a comb and a musical instrument at the same time.
The thrust to fly is ineradicable - Icarus and Daedalus, that is, Li Zhinchun and one of his family members, are working on creating their own aircraft, the hallmark of which is patriotic notes in the finish.
Another giant motorcycle, on which three people can sit in comfortable chairs and about 15 more Chinese on the back sofa.
