This little plant, identified as Equisetum arvense by a colleague, appears to have grown right through one of the metal posts of the bridge of Amsterdam University College (#AUC #UvA #VU).

I think it should be the mascotte of all students at Science Park:

"Those who persevere against all odds find the light at the end of the tunnel."

TL;DW: You can't, unless it is still attached to the plant. Just eat it right away, it will not get any riper.

The plant is frost-hardy, but all parts of the plant above ground die in winter.

Singapore Cloud Forest. Not sure what plant it is, but I guess from the Araliaceae.

I think the plant is from the Zingiberales, but I don't dare to identify it more than that.

Penang, Malaysia.

I see these all over the Midwest. Learn about how Monotropa uses the fungal connection between tree roots to siphon nutrients on this old webpage recommended by the US Forest Service.
