The plant the article is talking about is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boquila which can apparently mimic nearby plants of different species, and can mimic several at the same time. It's not understood how yet.

One experiment showed that it could mimic fake plastic plants, which would be mind blowing as it would require something approaching vision, but the study apparently has flaws.

the interesting part is main author of the research just did his experiments in home. he contacted a professor and hope professor do research on his plant. but the professor encouraged him finish this by himself. unfortunately, this why critics found problems in it.

Does that mean this plant is easy to obtain? That would be cool!

(Edited to add - yes, I can find it online for £25)
