Monocots entrance, Taman Botani Putrajaya


Architects want their buildings to stand alone with no obstructions, but landscape architects want to cover buildings with plants, and this photo is a good example of the latter. The covering plants are all monocots; the embryo has one cotyledon that means a shoot comes out from a seed like coconut palm, rice, tulip and lily, in the case of this photograph variety of palms, bromelias and anthuriums. Two leaves are seen as a bud from a seed; they are called dicots on the other hand. It's great that a planting island consists of nothing but only monocots, you can't do this in a temperate country.
