Is there any cryptid plants. If there is cryptid animals why isn't there any plants? Of course sasquatch sighting would make the news far before "the blue rose has been spotted" Is there any? Please tell me if you know

P.S I made the blue rose thing up, first thing that came to mind

I have to say that's a very interesting question! But, no, I've never seen any crypto buds...

[Deimos]

technically there can't be a cryptid plant becasue a cryptid is an animal, not a plant! lol, but yeah this is interesting, but not likely. I mean think about it, if there was a plant that hadn't been see n before, scientists would jsut be albe to study it when they find it or see it. with an animal there are variable like behavior, so if there are any unknown plants, whenver they're found, they would be discovered.

If someone found a "cryptid" plant,then why not take it home for research?I mean GOD,this topic is pathetic.If a plant is made (like a blue rose) then it was MADE...duh.

Lol,i'm just tired of these threads based on things that make no sense

[Jesus_Freak]

i don't see what could be a cryptid plant... except junlge explorers making up stuff... like a 39457 foot tall flower that feeds on the feet of small children.
