Thale Cress, Göteborg, April 13th, 2001











The humble Thale Cress
reproduces quickly and bountifully
in small spaces
and
due to the handy size of its genome
it has become the banana fly
among flowering plants






Arabidopsis thaliana

I read about the "unveiling" of the thale cress' genome at ScienceNews

Oh! I almost forgot: this is another one I would not have been able to identify without the help of Erik Ljungstrand.
