Weird plant videos
The videos on this page showcase some of the weird and wonderful properties of the plants we have growing at the Eden Project.
Find out more about the weird side of plants at our Freaky Nature event in the school Easter holiday.

Tap a cone of the Stone Pine (Pinus pinea) and a huge cloud of pollen is released! You can find the plant in Eden's Mediterranean Biome.
Watch the videoAnt Plant providing a home for ants
Ants live in the base of this warty plant, protecting it from pests. This means pollinators are chased away so the plant has to self-pollinate.
