They shoot up so fast during their "growth spurt" that they have been known to break through the ceiling of a greenhouse overnight.

This is weird. There's a giant rotating tree in the background. It's in the big room behind the flowering plants.

Right now, there's a Botanic Garden worker making sure the display is ready for today's onslaught of visitors.
