This is how I tested too. It failed. Why would I believe it on anything else?

Look up suborder caniformia if you want that answer from a taxonomic point of view
Yeah, it usually used to indicate unwanted flowering, but in lettuces (and to a lesser extent, basil) it indicates the beginning of the flowering attempt by the plant. Most people will cull their lettuce after it bolts (stem starts to elongate into an inflorescence), but way before there are any open flowers or even buds.
Broccoli is weird though. We want it to bolt, but not really flower. That's an odd thing for most plants.
Not exactly. It is bolting when it starts sending up a flowering stem, the very beginning of flowering. Every broccoli I've ever eaten has bolted, but not many of them have bolted and flowered.
Would eating a 3.75Oz tin of sardines a day raise concerns about consuming too much mercury or lead?
279mg or 12%rdv of salt. It is about half of what is considered a "high sodium food." Also about twice "low sodium" but not crazy. Are you thinking of salt packed instead of in oil?

45min until the grains start to open up. Lid on.
For anyone wondering DIMBY is Daycares in my back yard
As long as the anglosphere doesn't include the USA. Most people here would be able to guess what a sausage roll is but most wouldn't have seen one.
What is a "leftover fries"?
Rock juice. I didn't make that up
Reminded me of this 3 min "nature documentary" about the ibis/bin chicken https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4dYWhkSbTU
The large flowered collomia (Collomia grandiflora) is just starting to bloom around me. They are annual and have cool blue pollen (typically pollen is yellow). You can see the pollen on the anthers at the center of each flower.
I am going to keep tossing these out into the ether unless I hear differently from the group. I have been doing flowers just because their showy, but if anyone has requests let me know (eg trees, sedges, garden plants). Also, I have been avoiding having pollinators in the photos on the assumption that any animal makes most people ignore plant. Any thoughts on that?
This one is meadow-foam (Limnanthes douglasii). It's annual that is native to prairies of the west coast of North America. Smells great, looks cool, and bugs like it. Comercially, similar plants are grown for the oil from their seeds. The seeds off this one will just fall where they want to sprout up in spring of '22.
For me it is my phacelia (Phacelia tanacetifolia) blooming. I throw some seed down wherever I don't have other plans because the bugs love the flowers? What have you got going?
In highschool we were assigned inventors to do speeches on. My teacher meant to assign me Singer as in sewing machines but wrote Sanger. He caught it before the speech and told me to do Singer. I did a report on Singer for the grade and Sanger for my interest. One of the best mess ups a teacher could make.
