A macro shot of a strawberry which looks like a bunch of pears.

jansenvt · 2012-09-03T08:00:31+00:00

If you zoom in further there are small strawberries on each pear.

jandalofdoom · 2012-09-03T07:47:48+00:00

This is actually how pears are grown, on giant strawberries.

quazimoto69 · 2012-09-03T07:05:56+00:00

Looks more like chicken legs (drumsticks) than pears, maybe that's just me.

bitemybubbles · 2012-09-03T10:12:12+00:00

The strawberry is not the fruit. The strawberry seeds are the fruit.

LFfusion · 2012-09-03T11:48:41+00:00

I hope I'm not gonna sound like the know-it-all of the situation, but just so you know those little seeds are the actual fruits of the strawberry plant :D the red fleshy part is the so-called accessory fruit! so it makes it even cooler ^^

ubomw · 2012-09-03T07:14:55+00:00

Hummmmmm, strawberries.

pun_savant · 2012-09-03T06:48:36+00:00

Didn't know those strawberries were under such pear pressure.

PineappleSmoothie · 2012-09-03T06:57:18+00:00

Mmmmm Diverticulitis

SupermanV2 · 2012-09-03T06:56:14+00:00

I think you just ruined strawberries for me.

iputbananasinmybutt · 2012-09-03T07:08:21+00:00

Great picture! Looks like the pears are submerged in red jello.

Kakoose · 2012-09-03T12:22:58+00:00

Strawpearies?

miwine · 2012-09-03T00:26:04-07:00

The ones on the right look more like slugs struggling home from the salt wars of 2012.

WerBlerr · 2012-09-03T07:37:57+00:00

I like to run my bottom teeth against the grain of the seed on a strawberry.

kailughh · 2012-09-03T04:54:11-07:00

technically a strawberry isn't a true berry and those arent seeds but tiny fruits...

IwillNoComply · 2012-09-03T12:34:49+00:00

please unfuck my mind.

guest495 · 2012-09-03T12:55:16+00:00

They look more like the neggs you get in Neopets

Mmmmm strawpearry...

Mr_Kzimir · 2012-09-03T12:38:55+00:00

Did you knew that those "pears" , or achene are the real fruit (on a botanic perspective). The red part of the strawberry is the receptacle

Do they also taste like pears?

those aren't really pears, they are strawberry seeds. tmyk

Thurid · 2012-09-03T12:34:03+00:00

Should I have my house-slave deseed all my strawberries? Lest I consume and eradicate the next crop?

Anndreew · 2012-09-03T12:36:41+00:00

reminds me of the neopets meerca chase game

Runningboard7 · 2012-09-03T06:29:51-07:00

The texture of strawberries makes me unable to eat them. This looks awesome, and makes me nauseous.

Strawberries are the only fruits to have their seeds (achenes) on the outside. :) At least I think that's what I remember from Botany class.

strngblckwmn · 2012-09-03T16:12:40+00:00

The "stems of the pear" are the stigmas of each carpel, represented by the seeds. The red flesh is really the base tissue of the flower (receptacle), not the fruit itself.

spaceman_zero · 2012-09-03T16:13:32+00:00
