Maybe a fun obituary. Or a nice arrest write up. Doubtful any of the plants I work with are significant. Mostly model organisms and their relatives or local plants I have always loved. Unless the Smilax rotundifolia I have suddenly ends up a Devil's Snare.
Fun fact, the shoots of young Smilax rotundifolia taste a bit like asparagus when cooked and in native cultures was used as a sexual performance enhancer among other things.
Oh good he's growing sex drugs
Mild ones at best. Or just a tasty veg when sauteed if it's only placebo.
^And ^if ^they ^are, ^why ^not ^have ^a ^nice ^gimmick ^to ^motivate ^men ^to ^eat ^something ^other ^than ^meat.
Yeah, okay, meanwhile the local garbage dump is getting overrun with some weird new plant that grows like crazy and causes anything to eat it to go sex crazed.
…. And I will help spread this plant to every country on earth. Biodiversity be dammed, we’re gonna make love, not war.
I recently read about The war Scotland is having with gray squirrels and for some reason it made me feel really patriotic.
Same cloth. I once considered selectively breeding Dodder. A non-photosynthesizing parasitic plant that is bright red or pink. Only reason? Because it looks like the stuff from the Tom Cruise War of the Worlds movie.
That made me audibly snort 😄
Woo frog snort
