Stunned farmer Zheng Dexun dug up a crop of fleeceflower, or Chinese knotweed, and found one shaped like a person, in Langzhong, China. The eerie-looking plant, measuring 62 centimetres tall, has clearly defined arms, legs, and head. Zheng said: "I don't know whether it is good or bad to dig out a Chinese knotweed that looks like a human. I'd better put it back in the earth!"

With ginsing the more human like it is the more it is worth. I think that even if this isn't ginsing its worth a fortune. It looks way to good to be true, could be a hoax. It would even raise the value of his land I would think. Sometimes they sell human like ginsing in a little coffin. Mandrake is suppose to be human like also and scream when pulled from the ground  |

That is all very interesting stuff PD. I knew of the Mandrake one (From a Castlevania game lol) but never knew the other stuff. Where did you learn all that?

I have been studing plants for a long time.
Some how mandrake lead to our mayapple here. The ripe fruit is edible and the rest of the plant is poisonous especially the root. The indians were using the roots to treat cancer before we got here.
