it may taste yummy!! Hang on, I don't like strawberry....

Wow! OK, I'm impressed. With most fruits we eat the ovary. With strawberries, the achenes (those little dry seed-like items) are the ovaries, and the and the big fleshy red "fruit" thingy is not the ovary for a change, just a red fleshy recepticle! Love the picture. Like eating the good ones. Jack

Rentboi,

I like the picture.
And until reading J Rabins post, I liked to eat strawberries, too

Best regards,
Andy

??? If those are strawberries, then what are those dark red things that look like seeds?

[edit: OK, Forget it. I get it now. They are the strawberry seeds, aren't they? All from the same strawberry. Initially I thought each one of those little round ones were individual strawberries. Talk about macro! More like Micro to me!

Rentboi. I like this picture of the fleshy (non-ovary) around the achenes so much. Would you please send me a hi-resolution "unframed" copy? I can use it with students when I teach horticultural botany. I'll send you my e-mail. Jack

Wow, looks like a killer lens! Oh thanks guys, I'll never eat fruit again!

Holy Macro, that's the closest I have ever viewed a Strawberry.
Put's mine to shame.
