Zinnia

You must have seen the picture of the solitary orange zinnia that astronaut Scott Kelly tweeted last week. Such activities like growing plants in space can help astronauts reduce stress, suggests NASA's Behavioural Health and Performance team.

American astronaut Scott Kelly, who is spending a year in space starting March last year, recently tweeted a picture of a beautiful orange zinnia grown in orbit.

"First ever flower grown in space makes its debut! #SpaceFlower #zinnia #YearInSpace," Nasa astronaut Scott Kelly said, adding: "Yes, there are other life forms in space!"
