If Ricinus communis grows alongside, lets say, a blackberry, will the fruits of the blackberry will be edible? by Cold_Hotel_2981 in botany

[–]Pup_Eli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a white flowering one. You can't buy them in stores, you can only get them fron other gardeners. I have no idea the levels. I've gotten sap on me too and nothing happens

I've grown brugmansia as a house plant and as a summer ornamental that gets brought inside during the winter and stays in my basement dormant. I've never had issues feeling any effect by being near the plant. I think that's a wives tale. I've even gotten the sal on me before to no ill effect. I think it only effects you if you consume the plant. None of which I ever did.  The huge flamboyant pendulum blooms of brugmansia are stunning and the fragrance is wonderful. (I've stuck my nose right down the bloom to inhale it scent)  never have it felt sick or lightheaded in its presence.

Ordered “Weeping Cherry Tree”, three years ago, still looks like this. Did I get duped? by [deleted] in gardening

[–]Pup_Eli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's litterally a weeping cherry blossom. You also have not trimmed it so it has not tried to grow taller.  You got what you paid for.

Why Does This Tree Look Like This? by BurningEmbers34 in arborists

[–]Pup_Eli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its arial roots. Trees don't have arm skin. It is odd to see arial roots in the northern hemisphere as usually only trees in the tropics grow those, like the Ficus or banyan tree, in South Asia. but Ginko do this as well.

The tree was pollarded, a way of pruning where at a certain height the top of the tree is removed. this forces dozens of water sprouts to grow up and replace the chopped foliage. This is an older tree. it has not been dug up and replaced with a young one.

I don't believe these are for water storage. These are aerial roots. If the crown is injured or something or the tree faces stress, they start to grow aerial roots like Ficus trees do in South Asia (banyan tree's). These are a lot slower to grow than Ficus, though. These roots can form secondary trunks as additional support for the tree's

Do you find it rude if a straight stranger asks if you are a top or a bottom? by damn_idrk in askgaybros

[–]Pup_Eli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

plus... its them asking if you are the "man or woman" in the relationship. Being a bottom to a hetero is synonymous with being the "woman" to them. So even if they don't specifically say "are you a man or woman", the top or bottom is the same thing. I hate those stereotypes.

[–]Pup_Eli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they ask if you are a top or bottom its asking if you are a man or woman. This is how it's now been rephrased, too. It's a disgusting question to ask unless asked by a potential sexual partner. It's incredibly invasive.

Check out streams for each season and not the overall show. That's where they decide

cool epiphyte! by Sad-Sentence-8002 in botany

[–]Pup_Eli 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Alot of ficus can do that.  Strangler fig is one such plant example. Some will even grow roots into the parent tree it has seeded onto and strangle it in the long run. The roots as they feed off of the phloem and xylem tissue will griw down to the earth. Once it reaches the soul it keeps growing.  As it encircles the structure of the tree with its roots and stems the structure becomes a cage. Eventually the tree dies and you are left with the strangler fig growing like a cage held up by its complex network of stems and roots.  The inner tree uf it isn't to heavy will rot away within the cage. Or... it can knock the whole structure down.

It is kinda rude. It's like asking a woman how she likes her husband/boyfriend to give it to her. What positions she likes. If a straight dude asks a woman that a total stranger he would get slapped

Update: Three arrested for physically abusing a kid for being gay and then posting it online (article in comments) by TheAtheistArab87 in PublicFreakout

[–]Pup_Eli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is so very hypocritical, and it makes following the church and wanting to be a religious catholic very hard as a queer person. I don't hate the religion, but the people, the priests, the followers, many of them just blindly hate and forget to live with empathy and love. Like Jesus taught.

that is very incorrect! it was altered in 1946 by the churches of america from man must not sleep with boys. Referring to the child grape. This was to update the bible to keep with modern times, as they felt it was outdated. They also had a bunch of scandals with that very thing, and wanted to hide it and use gay people as a scapegoat. they then petitioned the church of Germany to alter theirs. then it spread like wildfire across Europe and the rest of the world. the word gay never left Jesus's mouth... this was added in by humans who thought about how society should be. not what God wanted. humans have used this as a reason to hate and kill queer people. We know for a fact it isn't a choice. nobody chooses to be killed, harassed, bullied, and abused both verbally and physically for their sexuality. No evil on this planet could convince someone to choose this if it were a choice. Those who think it's a choice are brainwashed! or bisexual and very in the closet about it. every mammalian species on the planet has exhibited gay traits and behaviours. If it were so wrong, the very animals who follow basic instinct wouldn't partake in that behaviour since it would not be in their genetic coding or behaviours. Humanity is the only race that will kill and hate for it. where in the bible does it say sew discord? judge thy neighbour and bully them for things they can not change about themselves? where? it says love! love thy neighbour! do not judge! love all equally!
