She told them more about how Lantanas are useful to people.
Next they saw some sunflowers.
They entered the culinary plants section and were welcomed by the scent of pandan leaves.

Learning the differences between a moth and a butterfly.
The life cycle of a butterfly begins from the egg, either in a cluster or a single egg.
The caterpillar then comes out from the egg shell.
Their shell is their first meal.
After eating, it goes into the pupa stage.
