liverworts
i recommend having a look at pegging men with giant dicks
Frank! Inappropriate!
no prob, BTW! ;)
(also, post about the various self-improvement and powerlifting fetishblogs i follow. im sure you can guess what this is all about)
the yellow dots in the image are the reproductive structures of this liverwort, if that’s what you are talking about? They are cryptogamic so they use microscopic spores rather than seeds to make new plants.
Right – I guess?
It’s a pretty cool plant because it uses the kind of spores it makes by itself, but it doesn’t actually reproduce that way.
However, there’s a huge battle going on to create a broader evolutionary niche for it and other liverworts by extending the original design so that it can actually do some sort of sex. Mycenaean wasps and polyandrous wasps are doing this – their caterpillars are made of liverworts, and in some places on the Mediterranean they have invented this whole culture around doing this in cages for the polyandrous caterpillars, and if the yellow places are still living polyandrous animals then that seems like a giant step forward for why you’d want to do this in nature. (I know no one’s getting any work done today, but i’m going to do what i can to learn about this stuff)
