熱帶農稼園(Tropical Crops Plantation)
這裡有很多不同種類的植物，有一些時可以吃的，很可惜沒有試食。我真得很想偷偷地試食，可惜沒有足夠的勇氣。全部的食物(ie plant)都試只能看，不能吃，我只有忍忍忍忍忍 ... ...
山竹(mangosteen)跟mango有甚麼關係? Are they within the same family? 如果將來有機會看到study plant 的 professor，我要問問她這個問題? Label 說所有的山竹的味道都是一樣的。我很懷疑。我決定以後沒天都去買一個山竹嘗嘗它們的味道是不是一樣?不知道在香港的supermarket能不能買得到?
Oyster plant can reduce "heatiness" in our body. I want to try if I have the opportunity. I think the zoo should provide a free drink of oyster plant or dragon's tongue.
The leaves of dragon's tongue are used to treat coughs & sore throat. The flowers can clean our blood. I want to plant dragon's tongue & oyster plant at home so I can alwys have medical drinks to cure my illness.
I want to try Padi rice in my dinner or lunch. I want to try its taste and see if it is yummy.
I have seen different types of flowers, plants and grass in the Tropical Crops Plantation. Many of the plants are not just beautiful, but they also have different meidcal uses. This visit is far more interesting than my previous lecture about plant in my biology class. I had not expected to learn anything about plant in the zoo. I am quite excited and I am extremely surprised about the diversity of the plant. If possible, I would like to come back again in the future to visit my "plant friends". The plants are no longer boring to me. I think my professor should come to the zoo to look at the plants before her lecture on plant.
