Pandorapedia, the Official Field guide, contains a list of
all of the fictional Pandoraian plants, complete with
taxonomy, botanical description, ecology and
ethnobotany!!! It describes life on Pandora as: "strange
and even fantastic." Yet some plants on Pandora bear
striking resemblance to plants on Earth." The magical
Pandoraian landscape reveals what looks like the full
spectrum of plant life on earth, featuring from anemones
found in coral reefs, to bright tropical plants and desert
succulents al interwoven in the mystical landscape.
If you are an Avatar fan and wish to imagineer a lush
Pandorian landscape in your garden (without the
patented bioluminescent zooplantae!) there are more
than enough earth look-alikes to make your dream a
reality. The first impression of the Alpha Centauri
Expeditions, as they flew over Pandora, was the
spectacular floating mountains and the impressive tree
Ligularia tussilaginea
canopy and Cordilyne "Red Sister".
Bromeliad spp.
