  Every day I realize how education has progressively failed us over the years since I left school.

  are there people who dont know that flowers turn into seeds (which in the case of fruit, the fruit itself contains the seeds)

  • OwOarchist@pawb.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Yes.

    There are a shocking number of people out there who are so far removed from touching grass that they literally have no idea about this kind of stuff. People who think a factory made the fruit they see on grocery store shelves.

      Touching grass makes a botanist?

      Look man, I don’t know what to tell you. I tried growing plants, and feeding them Brawndo. It’s not fault stupid plants don’t want to stupid grow! I fed them electrolites and everything. Plants growing on their own is all a conspiracy. Factories grow plants. Everyone knows that!

    I know how fruit/most plants work but I’ve never seen the stages of this particular berry laid out this way. Thought it was cool.

      You forgot the step where it overtakes your yard and life.

  This is what people mean when they say “touch grass”

    Spending a lot of time outdoors as a kid then seeing this pic is kinda…yeah that’s how it works. Plus back in the day Discovery and other educational channels were actually educational, so you could learn about stuff you might not get to personally see.

    People stay indoors and the Discovery Channel makes crap like Ice Road Truckers.

    Yeah.

    It’s a blackberry not grass

  I read an article several years ago that was arguing that blackberry plants should be classed as carnivores. The idea sounds absolutely absurd, but the more you squint at it, the more sense it makes. Blackberry bushes grow incredibly dense thickets of brambles, and those brambles snag and don’t let go easily. Shepherds in areas with blackberry bushes often have to rescue sheep that eat the blackberries and get stuck in the brambles. If they don’t get rescued, they’ll eventually die and decompose, thus adding a bunch of nitrogen and other useful chemicals to the soil which cause the plant to become larger and healthier.

  So while they don’t actively kill creatures like the venus fly trap or pitcher plants, they do grow in a way that can trap and kill animals, and they benefit hugely from the nutrients those animals provide.

    Pretty cool concept, thanks for sharing.

  I appreciate whoever took the time to find enough berries and pre-berries, and then arranged them so nicely

  source

  • turbowafflz@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    my question is how did they preserve the earlier stages long enough to still look good? i feel like i’ve never seen a blackberry bush with good looking flowers and fruit at the same time

    source

    • black_flag@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨58⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

      It might be shopped. Take a picture at each stage, then arrange them all on a background.

    • otter@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Oh that’s a good point

      Maybe it’s a farm or greenhouse with plants in different stages of growth?

      source
• Bluegrass_Addict@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  that picture is funky because it gives the impression there’s like 20 stages…there’s only 5 stages for the plant, with 2 of them being directly related to the berry. (yes I’m aware that the plant growth is related to berry growth…)

  flowering, and fruiting. the rest is plant growth.

  • tlekiteki@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Academic mindset. I am sure there is a good rationale behind the 5 stages. But please remember nature is not discrete, the qualia overlap. We could recognize any number of stages.

  Well, what did you expect?

  source

  • Vespair@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Exactly. Like yes, this is cool, no doubt, but if a person truly had to stop and think about how this plant grew beyond just a quick knee-jerk reaction, surely this would have to be the logical conclusion… right?

    Berry hen to just lay them every day.
