Obligatory mention of the novel [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schild%27s_Ladder](Schild's Ladder) by Greg Egan.

You can have as many C-F bonds as you want i a single molecule, but not in a chain, because F will be connected to only a single C.

Pedantic mode: The longest chain of C-F bonds you can have has length two.

Oh no. It just means I bought it already in bloom, then the flowers wilted, and then some time later it bloomed again. So really I'm just bragging that I managed to make it bloom again.
