Comment on Wood smells like we should be able to eat it, but we can't.

  A potato is not a flowering plant it’s a tuba, such as an onion. Totally different thing entirely to a bit of wood attached to a tree.

    And potato is a tuber but an onion is not. Both are flowering plants. So is ginger.

    Ginger has nothing to do with ‘a bit of wood attached to a tree’ which is exactly my point.

    Potato plants absolutely have flowers. Have you ever grown one? Be careful with the potato flowers and fruits. They are poisonous nightshade.
