“So it is: we are not given a short life but we make it short, and we are not Ill-supplied but wasteful of it.”

― Seneca, On the Shortness of Life


Flowers blush. It may seem remarkable to say this, but it is true. Many flowers change colors after they are pollinated. This physiological shift happens because of a pH change from basic to acidic within their petals, possibly triggered by pollination or subsequent fertilization. In other flowers, colors often change with age, transitioning from a young, rewarding bloom (rewarding to the pollinator, that is) to an older, senescent one. . . .
