It's about time someone called out the plant world for its blatant promiscuity!😅

HAHA! When my son was 9 years old, he and I went for a walk in late May. There were plumes of pollen swirling through the air. The sun was shining through it and you could track the fluid dynamics of the wind really clearly.

We paused to just look, both pretty amazed. Then, after a few silent beats, he said, "It's kinda weird that it's all sperm."

That's so funny. It really becomes uncanny when you think about it long enough…
