Is there a name for the practice of embedding a completely unrelated video into the middle of an article? I find this practice to be so mystifying. Does that work on readers?
I find this fascinating. But I’m really curious about whether this self pollination is causing problems with vanilla’s robustness due to a lack of cross pollination.
The membrane's evolutionary justification might be to force pollinators deeper into the flower, guaranteeing that it touches both the pollen and the stigma. It's a relatively common adaptation in flowers.

An AI. Writing and publishing a stream of mid-quality articles. With ads inserted. Profit. Occasionally insane.

Elizabeth I was English and died in 1603. Two centuries before the 1800s. I am suspicious of AI for this article too.
The way they tune productivity is deliberately reducing quality of the editing. I’m not kidding.
Good for evolution, bad for a crop monoculture.
To create more vanilla plants they take cuttings or similar methods to create a genetically identical plant without using a seed.
