Germination, the process through which plants disperse seeds so that they can sprout and grow into new plants can be a little tricky, given that plants are immobile. Some like dandelions use wind, others by growing prickly fruits that stick to the fur or spine of animals. Then there are those that yield sweet fruit that animals seek out and devour. However, in order for that to work successfully, those plants have to get it really right!

    I have learned that a mignonette is a fruit that resemble blackberries. I have also learned that seeds inside of a tiny berry is called mustard bombs. I have finnaly learned that as soon as the mouse bites into the mustard bombs they release an enzyme that tastes like hot mustard, forcing the rodent to spit them right out.
