      Hi there!
      I have seen some wonderful flowers and trees, in the UK and on holiday, so I will break it up into different groups so I can tell you about a few.
      The best plant I have ever seen is the Giant Sequoia trees in California. Nothing quite compares to being surrounded by absolutely huge trees. When you stand next to them you are tiny! The whole forest smells amazing (so fresh!) and there is wildlife everywhere you look. The forests are home to many animals including bears and mountain lions.
      The weirdest plant I have seen is the climbing sea onion- this is not an edible onion but looks really bizarre!
      The prettiest plants I think would either be passionflowers, iris’s or dahlias – they are all so colourful and bring so much life to a garden.

      If you want to see some beautiful, strange or tropical plants I would recommend visiting local garden centres, flower shows, botanical gardens or the eden project (which is quite a trip).
