Title: What is this 74? NOW SOLVED
Post by: John J on December 03, 2014, 11:21:06 AM

Umbrian asked for something more interesting. I'm not sure if this will fit the bill, I guess we'll find out from responses.
Is it Animal, Vegetable or Mineral? Or maybe even Alien!

It' s a scale from a pine cone.

Sorry, David, but it's a little larger and 3 dimensional than that.

It seems to be a cross between a fish and a pear.

I like the cross between a fish and a pear, Jorun. The Solanum is a new one on me but having looked it up I see what you mean.
I know the photo doesn't have anything to compare size to, Miriam, but Stephanotis fruit is larger than this.

Well spotted, HansA. I thought we might keep that one going for a while.
