Good Morning #Canada
It's an early start this Friday as I'm off to the dealership for a bit of service on the car. I will apologize now because I am thumbing my nose at #MotherNature and removing my winter tires a bit earlier than usual. Sure, it's convenient for me to swap tires today, but it virtually guarantees a snowfall in the weeks ahead. HA... I laugh at danger....

Even plants change gender! Again, #MotherNature ! I've seen marijuana plants change gender right before my eyes!

This Amazing Plant Changes Gender from Year to Year

"#Amorphophallus remains a unique occupant in the world of plants, and visitors to the Chicago Botanic Garden recently experienced the fascinating bloom cycle with the titan arum Sprout. However, there is an additional denizen of the Araceae (a.k.a. Aroid, a.k.a. Arum) family with rare and exceptional attributes, which also bloomed at the Garden.

"Japanese cobra lily (Arisaema ringens) has an uncanny, serpent-shaped, flower and possesses a remarkable ability to do something that few other plants can do: change its gender from year to year.

"Arisaema species (jacks), are paradioecious, which means that the blooms of an individual plant can be male one year and female the next. Young plants produce male flowers with pollen until they are mature enough to produce fruit. When they have accumulated enough energy to fruit, they produce a female flower that will hopefully become pollinated.

"However, after an exhausting round of fruit set, the plant may take a break and produce male flowers the next year. Producing pollen, rather than fruit, saves energy. Unhealthy conditions or damage to a female flowering plant can also cause it to produce male flowers the next time around.

"Basically, Japanese cobra lilies change sex for a period of time to save energy and allow themselves time to recover. "

11 Animals That Can Change Sex

For many wild creatures, the line between male and female is decidedly blurry.

"For Mother Nature, biological sex isn’t always an either-or proposition. Some species come with simultaneously functioning female and male organs. Others change from female to male or vice versa, depending on need or surrounding conditions."
