      Definitely! We discover about 2,000 new species of plants every year. Some look fairly ordinary, like new kinds of roses or parsnips. Some are gigantic trees. Some are even meat-eating plants! We still have a lot to learn about the world around us, especially in areas we haven’t explored much (like the deep jungle), so I think there are still plenty of new plants to find.
