The Toledo Zoo - Feature #7 & Name That PLANT
The Toledo Zoo in Toledo, Ohio has been voted one of the top 10 Zoos in the country! I have lived in this area for 20 years and this past September 2015 is the first time that I have ever visited this special place. Now I am asking myself: "Why did it take me so long?".
I had the pleasure of visiting the zoo with my sister & brother-in-law and my precious twin nieces. It was such a blessing to experience this amazing zoo with my 10 year old nieces.
Each week I will feature one animal and one plant (asking for your help in identifying some of the plants) - ENJOY!

Feature #7 - PENGUIN
Penguins live in the Southern Hemisphere and mainly in Antarctica. However, there are certain species that live near the equator in warm climates. I'm not sure which species I saw at the Toledo Zoo (I did not see a description sign by this exhibit). Penguins are flightless, aquatic birds that live half of their life on land and half in water. They feed on sealife: fish, squid etc. Click HERE (Wikipedia) to read more about the penguin.

I went to the zoo to look at animals but found myself mostly taking pictures of plants.
Many of the plants around the zoo exhibits and buildings I had never seen before (and unfortunately they were not labeled), so I decided to include a section asking for your help. The featured plant today is an easy one (I do know the answer to this feature). There is a hint in one of the pictures - look closely. Do you know the name of this plant?
Please leave your answer in the comment section below & have fun!
