Sure, let's write a proposal for LSD-based feline experimentation, give the cats just catnip and keep the LSD for ourselves.

Only if we assume they can't be ressurected

I don't even remember of what that was a picture [OC] in c/pics@lemmy.world

No sure what type, but I think it's definitely a plant / gras. (Photo was taken in New York in October)

Is this a Keiki or just a flower spike forming? [Orchids] in c/houseplants@mander.xyz
[–] kunegis@mander.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

I would also think this a flower stalk

I just registered my first orchid hybrid, Paphiopedilum Belgian Sunshine (infosec.pub)
 

Introducing Paphiopedilum Belgian Sunshine

I pollinated a Paphiopedilum Maudiae in January 2021 with pollen from Paphiopedilum Ma Folie. In August, I cut off a fruit. In September, I sent the fruit to The Orchids Lab for seeding, received it back in August 2022, and potted it. In October 2024, I discovered three flower buds. and in November 2024 they opened, allowing me to register it as a new hybrid, and gave it the name Paphiopedilum Belgian Sunshine.

I named it after the rare meteorological condition that allowed the specimens to flower in such a short time.

More information about the new hybrid: Royal Horticultural Society – OrchidRoots – Orchidex

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

Such a scenario would be interesting indeed.

Why is German "doubly derived" from Swiss German?

And why prefix German with "standard" when this is not done for other languages?

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.

a chain of incredibly strong carbon-fluorine bonds

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