I study toxicology as a hobby. I am wondering what people consider the most dangerous poison. I am specifically refering to plants and animals, so please no chemical answers.

I water it with rainwater and try my best to keep it damp, (Sits on a damp sponge) but after 2 months it's started wilting and losing some of its traps. The label says it likes sunlight, so I put it on a East facing windowsill to catch the sun in the morning. Could this be too much for it?

Thanks! :o)

I was eating raspberries today and I started thinking aobut how I had heard they were aggregate fruit. A simple fruit is one from an ovary with only one pistil. Thereforeit could be pollinated by only one male plant, right? In the case of an aggregate fruit which develops from a flower with numerous simple pistils couldn't the individual pistils hypothetically be fertilized by different male plants? Would this mean that the individual simple fruits that make up a raspberry are genetically different. As if one raspberry is a collection of brother and sister fruit? What about a multiple fruit , like pineapple? A cluster of flowers produce a single fruit. If each of these flowers is fertilized individually, but they mature into a single mass does the pineapple have DNA from some of the flower fertilizations in some cells and sibling DNA in other cells or is all the DNA in every cell of the pineapple?

Can anybody help me find books or papers to read? For free-floating and floated-leaf plants, I know air is trapped and density is lower than water. People told me:" upper leaf surface is hydrophobic and unwettable (so it floats); and lower surface is hydrophilic". Is that true? I want to find books or papers to verifiy this. Thanks a lot

It has a bad smell and it withers up and dies when the sun hits it. It seems to occur only in the gardens where we used red mulch wood chips. Any idea what this could be?

I have 2-3 plants in a large 24" pot. Plants have 1-2 flowers year round. However, flowers do not fully open or open in a non-symetrical shape and they look sick. I water weekly with some light fertilizer. It is in good indirect light and always inside. I replaced soil and it helped it a bid. But it is still sick.
Will appreciate any help.
Thanks. Hmm97

Why is it that the Joshua Tree exists in Israel and in Joshua Tree, California...ONLY. (Joshua Tree, CA. is approx. a 45 min. drive from Palm Springs, CA. in case your curious.) Definitely, a rather unique life form, on opposite sides of the planet! Please help! If your not really sure, please spend your time answering someone elses question.

A nut is a type of fruit. Right? So then what is a fruit?
A fruit is a mature ovary from a flower. Right? Every fruit contains one or more
seeds. And what is a seed?
A seed is an embryonic plant encased in a covering, called the seed coat or
integument. Right? Every seed has the potential to germinate and grow into a mature
adult plant. Apple seeds grow into trees! Right? What about acorns? Where is the "fruit"? *s* Bring on your 'answers'! (I'm bored)
