I loved how they pushed away old ideas of plant relationships and groupings which were based on structure and appearance when new data came up regarding the genetic closeness of plants (like humans and chimps). I don’t remember the exact quote, but one of the scientists said something that struck me… It was on the order of:
“Plants are some of the most sex crazed lifeforms on the planet. Sex is the ONLY thing they engage in from seed to compost.”
Who needs slinky Jazz saxophone music, candles, champagne, strawberries, and high cocoa chocolate when you have a stamen and some nice pollen?
Some cheap flower pick-up lines:
“Quite a set of stems you've got there.”
"Impressive root system. How deep does it go?"
"Want to get together with a few bees later tonight?"
“Oh, you don’t look a day over 120 million.”
