Plants will always stare at you....

Let's start this with a story. 

             By the time, you reached the swamp in a gigantic jungle, you feel something creepy. When you turn your body to the right, you see a plant with many eyes seeing you just like the plant below....


OK, OK, I will stop fooling around but there is a plant just like the one above is called the "Doll's Eyes" plant.

Doll's Eyes plant

Doll's eyes plant or its scientific name called Actaea pachypoda.  It's a flowering plant and the doll's eyes that we see are berry, white baneberry for exact. It can be 50cm tall or more (1 1/2 feet tall and nearly 3 feet wide) and its leaves can up to 40cm long and 30cm wide ( Wow! This big!). The whole plant is danger to us or humans, especially the berries. The berries contains cardiogenic toxins whixh can effect our cardiac muscle tissue. However, the berries are harmless to birds, the plant's primary seed dispersers.


There is all I got about this plant so I hope you enjoy. Feel free to leave a comment. So, thanks and goodbye.
