Food shocker for today! Strawberries aren’t true berries. Bananas are! A true berry develops from one flower with one ovary and usually has seeds inside. • Bananas grow from a single flower with one ovary. • Strawberries don’t, each seed is on the outside and is its own tiny fruit. #botany #SurfFeeds #foodstories #fruit #FoodTrivia #foodculture

Food shocker for today! Strawberries aren’t true berries. Bananas are! #FoodTrivia Why? A true berry develops from one flower with one ovary and usually has seeds inside. •  Bananas grow from a single flower with one ovary. •  Strawberries don’t, each seed is on the outside and is its own tiny fruit, making strawberries an aggregate fruit. Botanically speaking… bananas win the berry title! Botanists, please way in! #botany #foodculture #foodstories #fruit

Purple hyacinth orchid (Dipodium punctatum) at Mystery Bay, NSW. Only one plant out and only just starting to flower in late February near the ocean. I usually see this species flowering nearby from late November - this is probably the latest flowering I have seen (although it can apparently flower into March at some locations). #Orchids #OzPlants #Biodiversity #Ecology #Botany #Photography #Spring #InTheField #Nature #BloomScrolling #Dipodium

@acb@mastodon.social At this point, I recommend a short story by #RoaldDahl titled "The Sound Machine". It's collected in More Tales Of The Unexpected, amongst other places. The story was published in 1949. Botanical science finally caught up with fiction in 2023. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2023.03.009 @cstross@wandering.shop @jmax@mastodon.social #biology #botany

@jmax@mastodon.social The question is: Are they actually dead at that point? What constitutes death for a plant? It's not lack of brain activity. Warning: Go too far down this road and you realize that the #potatoes that will happily begin growing shoots if you leave them in the sack for too long are alive and screaming when you drop them into boiling water. https://doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190687724.003.0010 After all, part of the point of #cooking is to kill otherwise still-alive organisms before eating. @cstross@wandering.shop #ValentinesDay #biology #botany

In a world that astonishes every day, today I am astonished to learn that an #ICE guy told the neighbors he was a botanist. #botany #NativePlants

Sun orchid (Thelymitra) variations growing close together on the edge of Croajingolong National Park, VIC. Thelymitra ixioides (spotted sun orchid) are common nearby but in open grassland some smaller-flowering forms are maybe closer to the very similar Thelymitra juncifolia (rush-leaf sun orchid). #Orchids #OzPlants #Biodiversity #Ecology #Botany #Photography #Spring #InTheField #Nature #BloomScrolling #EastGippsland #SunOrchids #Thelymitra
