Not weird at all. They are pollinated by fruit flies.

Since this was the seventh day wasn't this a Sunday?
Not according to the Hebrew (or American) calendar. Sunday is the first day of
the week & Saturday is the Sabbath. Sunday became the day of rest in the
Christian calendar.

Seeing that Sunday is one day of the "weekend" it's always puzzled me
why, at least in relatively modern calendars, it's shown as the
beginning of the week. (But I suppose the beginning is one "end". :-)

Cheers, Phred.
