And if a silence filled the air do you think that anyone would even care? Would they be aware... of the mounting snow...

Comment (Optional): I first learned about the cheese plant in a book and was fascinated by how wild seedlings grow. This piece is inspired by that.
Entry:
Blue adjusted his grip on the climbing ropes. Above him, the branches creaked alarmingly, and he winced as small pieces of bark and leaves pattered onto his head. Birds, unseen, whirred away, screeching in alarm.
An Imperial as huge as himself normally wouldn't need ropes to climb, but in his childhood, he'd played with the wrong magic, and the resulting blast had punctured his wings. The botched spell had made it impossible for the holes to heal; therefore it was impossible for him to fly naturally. He remembered those days -- dark days when he'd just been so angry at himself, at the world, at everything.
"Breathe in...breathe out...It's all in the past," he reminded himself, as he craned his neck upwards again. He'd gone into some very dark places, but had resolved some time ago to leave them all behind. There were many other ways to fly. Many ways to get back into the light--
Literally, in this case. Forty minutes later, he heaved his great bulk up into the fork of the tree, and this time there was no creaking, and the birds watched curiously instead of flying away. He was here at last, up in the air and the light, where birds and flowers flaunted their colors and the newest leaves sparkled in the dawn.
He had been sitting there for a while, just admiring the view, when his stomach growled. Most dragons would have frowned, but Blue's face broke into a smile. He'd come prepared, and as the forest creatures chattered excitedly, he broke the seal on a lunch box, opening it to reveal fruits, mushrooms, and other delicacies brought up from the forest floor, far below. Breakfast in the canopy. Blue smiled as the little creatures plucked food from his paws. He settled down to eat with them, and the wind whistled through his tattered wings, humming and sighing like a distant song.

"Modern corn is so highly domesticated that it has in a sense become a biological monstrosity. Although it is superbly adapted for producing grain, it could not survive under natural conditions because it has no satisfactory mechanism for dispersing its seed. If an ear of corn is left on it's own under conditions favorable for germination, it will give rise to a group of seedlings so densely clustered that they will compete among themselves for water and soil nutrients, with the result that all may fail to reach reproductive age. Without human intervention modern corn would become extinct in a few generations." [url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/24966237?seq=1]- Dr. George Beadle[/url]

Durian trees are one of my favorite wacky plants! Their fruits are some of the strangest in existence. Known for their repulsive smell and (supposedly) excellent taste, durian fruits may be one of the known world's most peculiar delicacies! I've never gotten a chance to try one, but I definitely would love to :D

[b]Species: Bigleaf Magnolia, [i]Magnolia macrophylla[/i][/b]
[b]Entry Type: Visual (photo and scry)[/b]
[b]Comment (Optional): The Bigleaf Magnolia has the largest single leaf and flower of any plant in North America! Thought it ranges throughout the Southeast US, it requires very specific conditions to thrive and is locally endangered in many places. Unlike most magnolias, it is deciduous, and when its leaves fall, the entire forest floor looks like it's covered in paper![/b]
