Have a question about the video, or anything botany-related? Post it in the comments and I'll answer it in a future video.

just a tip, maybe in vocabulary intensive episodes use more photos or examples for the types, and maybe use examples of actual species that people will know.

I am a undergraduate student of biology in Portugal, your videos are really good, in some points even  better than my classes, Please continue publishing more. :)

My mom uses the word inflorescence all the time and she would never explain to us why, just smile smugly. Like, so pretencious. Shut up, it's a freaking flower. Anyway, I love your videos! :)

Can you please make a video on the primitive and advancement of inflorescence.

Science always be making simple things complicated lol adding large complicated words for things we have already named and have simple terms for

Why do some flowers bloom before others on an inflorescent plant?

[bobtatro]

Thank you for this. Why are you not calling the bracts of the sunflower sepals?

Can anyone pls recommend me a good botany reference book? Inflorescence is giving me a hard time as it is not that easy or clear online

I'm here 7 years late. Some of my Heirloom, inderterminate tomato plants are growing this way. I'm trying to decide if I should cut them off, and let a side shoot continue up the trellis. If you ever find this reply I will let you know what happend when I snip a few. 🍅
