Acorn in water - tell us why, Iris
Yeah Iris, tell us where does mold come from and why does it form? Does it
EAT the acorn? Why does nature waste so many acorns by allowing them to fall into the water and die? Why Iris why? Who will stop the madness? Is this all the work of some vengeful god or some conspiracy by the trilateral commission? ;-) Just how old is George and has he taken basic biology in school yet? George wrote in message om... Thanks Iris, It didn't look very healthy so I threw it out. If acorns fall into water naturally and are allowed to die, I imagine the same thing happens. Do you know where the mold comes from and why it forms - does it eat the acorn? George (Iris Cohen) wrote in message ... I placed an acorn in a cup of water a few weeks ago. The water has decreased and turned orange and has globules. The acorn is covered with a grey mold-like cover. Acorns are not designed to germinate in water. The acorn has died and is moldy. The water is probably full of bacteria. If you want to geminate acorns, in fact most seeds, you will have to plant them in soil.
