They have not yet been genetically fingerprinted, so this could change (they could be separate genuses).⁣ Bulbinella are geophytic plants because they have underground storage organs ⁣ Bulbinella contain numerous secondary metabolites, that may have medicinal value (though few have been tested thus far)⁣ Local communities have used Bulbinella leaf sap as a soothing ointment to treat mosquito bites and the like.⁣</image:caption>

That's why they're called naked ladies – they flower without any foliage. ⁣</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Sometime bees steal nectar from cranberry flowers by sneaking in next to the stamen filament, instead of probing from the top (where they pick up pollen).⁣ The rusty patched bumble bees and leafcutter bees were the best at delivering pollen to cranberry flowers, although the flowers don't really need  much. ⁣ Cranberry plants produce extra flowers as a backup plan, the upper flowers will stop fruit production even if pollinated, unless something happens to the lower flowers.⁣ Cranberries were only domesticated around 200 years ago, when a handful of wild populations were selected to plant commercially ⁣ There are three species that produce cranberries.   is the cultivated variety known as the American (or large) cranberry, .  is the common cranberry, found across the northern hemisphere, and .  is the small cranberry.⁣ The name comes from the shape of the flowers, which early settlers in New England thought looked like a crane (the bird). In Europe the fruit as called a fenberry, after the type of soil it grows in.⁣ Cranberries can be harvested wet (for processed food) or dry (for fresh fruits). In wet harvesting, the cranberry bogs are flooded, and the water is stirred up to encourage the plants to loosen the berries, which float on the water.⁣</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Coffee, along with tea and tobacco, was once believed essential for a sober and moral society - More Coffee Trivia by SmartHerbals: ⁣⁣</image:title>
      <image:caption>Coffee (the beverage) is made from two species of coffee, namely Coffea arabica and C. canephora var. robusta (Commonly called Arabica and Robusta). Arabica plants are harder to grow, but produce better-quality beans.⁣ Robusta and Arabica make more caffeine in their leaves than in the beans, and Robusta has more bean-caffeine than Arabica.⁣ Cultivated Arabica comes in two main genetic lines, called Typica (from Amsterdam via Indonesia) and Bourbon (from Réunion). Both were distributed from Yemen, but originated in Ethiopia. Only a few plants survived their travels, making most cultivated Ariabica very, very closely related.⁣ A Mr John Crawford, in 1852, was so convinced that coffee (along with tea and tobacco) would promote a more sober and moral society that he requested the government to be careful not to tax it excessively (as, according to him, tea and tobacco were)!⁣ To make coffee-gorwing a more commercially viable proposition, efforts are currently underway to use the cherry pulp to make a coffee cherry spirit. Tasting notes of vegetative-earthy, green notes, sweet, and fruity. No coffee aroma though.⁣ Coffee sales are recording in "60 kg bags" - in 2022 81 million bags of Arabica and 48 million bags of Robusta were recorded.⁣</image:caption>

Even better, modern usage of Aloe ferox gel means that no part of the harvested leaves is wasted. Unlike Aloe vera, Aloe ferox is very spiny when young, but will gradually need less spines as it grows taller, mainly having spines along the leaf edge - this probably contributed to its scientific name ("ferox" means "fierce")</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Male mulberry flowers catapult pollen at half the speed of sound - More Mulberry Trivia by SmartHerbals:</image:title>
      <image:caption>Morus fossils from the Eocene (56–33.9 million years ago) have been found in north-western India, although they no longer occur there due to the movement of the subcontinent. Morus trees have separate flowers for the male (stamens) and female organs (pistils). The male flowers can catapult pollen at around 170 metres per second (the speed of sound is 343 metres per second). Morus alba (white mulberry) is native to Asia, and forms the basis of the silk industry, being the silk moth's favourite food. Morus alba is considered an invasive species in several countries (including South Africa) – it hybridises with the native Morus rubra (red mulberry) trees (native to the USA), and outgrows native vegetation in riparian areas. Morus nigra is considered a weed in South Africa. Morus nigra have been cultivated since before Roman times and individual trees can bear fruit for centuries Morus nigra is used for fresh and preserved fruit, textiles, furniture, cosmetics, dyes, and wine-making. Mulberries are not, botanically speaking, berries, but a collective fruit consisting of a cluster of drupes (like peaches and olives). The juicy outside is technically part of the flower. Mulberry is also a British luxury brand</image:caption>
