    idk if there are other cool parts, but the one i’m aware of is that their jizzulate is asexual, basically clones (i think). The ferns shed spores which grow into what looks like a leaf on the ground, then those “leaves” have their own more normal sex cells which do the usual thing, which then grow into actual ferns from the surface of the “leaf”.
    It’s fucking wild.

        turns out life doesn’t care what we think, and will merrily do whatever the fuck it feels like

        there’s a plant that can just magically grow to look like whatever other plants are near it, some-fucking-how
