Plant 1: Hey, you've got a vine growing on you.
Plant 2: I know, but it's killing these parasitic wasps, so it's... vine with me.

Ya thought your oversized tree balls bugged you until the love vine came down to ball town and really rooted the problem.

It’s called the love vine because anything that kills wasps deserves our admiration.

A carnivorous plant that eats the parasites of other plants? We've got a Dexter vine here.

Cassytha Filiformis is such a cool name for a plant that attacks both plants and animals in such a way. Definitely going to insert that name into my fantasy novel xD

I am dyslexic, I read parasite as plastic 🤦‍♀. I came excited thinking about plastic eating plants 😂

The vine is basically that one kid who would bully a normal kid but also bully a bully and nothing stops him

How do we know the vine killed/ate the bugs, as opposed to just starving them as it ate the nutrients from the galls?
