How about The Incredibles or maybe The Water Horse.

Not quite as exotic as the plants already mentioned but we grow Daubenton’s kale. It has a finer taste and texture than the curly varieties of kale and as a perennial, if each plant isn't over-harvested, can grow for five to seven years (even through winter).
