Why beetles? You'll need to read to beelieve it.

Many of the Annonaceae fruits (order Magnoliales) still rely exclusively on beetles for pollination. Many of these beetle species' populations have declined, or they were never abundant to begin with, so hand-pollinate for higher yield!

What is this flower? (lemmynsfw.com)

Southern Finland. I've found these and some more bluish ones. They are fairly small (the flower itself is about 4-6cm) and have these long, pretty thick leaves. It isn't visible in the photos, but the petals have this glittery look on them. Here's one of the blue ones, in a vase: I've mostly seen them near yards or gardens, so I think they aren't native.

The fruit is edible, but there's not much food on it, so probably not worth planting outside of its native range.

This plant should not be thriving in this environment. It is growing on compacted oxisol in an area that gets over 4 metres of rain. Yet here it is, growing completely out of control. Nothing makes sense. Climate change?

I have to admire the survival skills of this Prickly Pear. How did it get there. How is it still alive ?

From the perspective of plants we are all rich and in the long run they will eat us all. @plants

This little plant, identified as Equisetum arvense by a colleague, appears to have grown right through one of the metal posts of the bridge of Amsterdam University College (#AUC #UvA #VU).

I think it should be the mascotte of all students at Science Park:

"Those who persevere against all odds find the light at the end of the tunnel."

TL;DW: You can't, unless it is still attached to the plant. Just eat it right away, it will not get any riper.

The plant is frost-hardy, but all parts of the plant above ground die in winter.
