Trivia

 * The Ming Plant was originally called the Purple Vase Plant.
 * The design of the Ming Plant is extremely similar to that of ordinary sea-anemones. This suggests convergent evolution and the presence of even more similarities.
 * The "Ming" in its name is likely a reference to its vase-like shape. "Ming Vases" (Chinese porcelain works created during the Ming dynasty) are known in popular culture as extremely expensive vases.
 * The cracked appearance of the Ming Plant's "vase" resembles the Japanese art of kintsugi, in which broken pottery is repaired with a decorative adhesive, so that the fixed cracks enhance the beauty and character of the piece.
