I love the way you described Brassica oleracea as a "shapeshifter." I remember when I first learned all those vegetables were indeed one species, which was mindblowing. It gave me a deep appreciation for our ancestors and all their handiwork with plant breeding. :)

Thank you for reading, dear friend! So true! I think of plant breeders as having immeasurable patience intertwined with exceptional attention to detail. I don't know how they do it!

Just started this a few days ago. Was unaware of the challenge, the thought must've blown in on the wind. Thanks for the great list.
