Where it counts Variety

Different plant foods help some plants more than others.\nGet at least 3 very different kinds of plant. An Example would be one that likes dry land(a cataus), a flower of some kind and something that lives in water.\n\nGet three of each kind of plant and then have 3 different kinds of feed. Of the 3 in the same kind feed each one a different food, but feed the same foods to the other 2 kinds of plants as well.\n\nAfter a while one of each kind should be doing better. The interesting part will be does the same plant food have the same results on all 3 kinds of plant.\n\nYou can use any number of kinds plant or food, I just said 3 because that is the least that you would want.

Green grapes are the only ones in my world.\n\nI was amazed by all the people who answered purple, I thought green grapes were more common.

A few dozen, I'd think.  Perhaps more.\n\nThe following are cultivated palms:\n\nPalm Tree Species\n\nBismarck Palm Bismarckia nobilis\nCabbage Palm Sabal palmetto\nCanary Island Date Palm Phoenix canariensis\nCarpentaria Palm Carpentaria acuminata\nChinese Fan Palm Livistona chinensis\nChristmas Palm Veitchia merrilli\nFishtail Palm Caryota spp.\nKey Thatch Palm Thrinax  morrisii\nMacarthur Palm Ptychosperma macarthurii\nPaurotis Palm Acoelorrhaphe wrightii\nPindo Palm (Jelly Palm) Butia capitata\nPygmy Date Palm Phoenix roebelenii\nQueen Palm Syagrus romanzoffiana\nRoyal Palm Roystonea spp.\nSenegal Date Palm Phoenix reclinata\nSentry Palm Howea forsteriana\nWashington Palm Washingtonia robusta\nWindmill Palm Trachycarpus fortunei\nYellow Butterfly Palm Chrysalidocarpus lutescens\n\nHowever this looks like the short list.  See the second link for most if not all palm species.  Looks like there are over a hundred.

You have 3 bananas, 2 lemons, 4 apples and 5 oranges.  Instead of saying all that you simply say that you have 14 pieces of fruit.  That is a basic way that we use summation notation in our daily lives.

passionfruit, horn melon, pomegranate but the fruit is basically made up of seedy pulp so I'm not sure if they count

yes, each pistil can be fertilized by different pollen, but generally the properties of the fruit is dependant on the genes of the mother - the flesh of the fruit is mother tissue, so the dna of the seed is not affecting this much. that is why all the apples, cherries on one tree are quite the same even it they were pollinated by different "fathers" - but if u grow the seeds in mature trees, they may differ in their various properties.

Estimates of the present global macroscopic species diversity vary from 2 million to 100 million species, with a best estimate of somewhere near 10 million. Note the word macroscopic, this excludes microscopic oragnisms.\n\nThe U.S. has over 17,000 identified native plant and tree species, including 5,000 just in California. With habitats ranging from tropical to arctic, the flora of the U.S. is the most diverse of any country; yet, thousands of non-native exotic species sometimes adversely affect indigenous plant and animal communities. Over 400 species of mammal, 700 species of bird, 500 species of reptile and amphibian, and 90,000 species of insect have been documented.\n\n Insects are the most diverse group of animals on the earth, with around 925,000 species described—more than all other animal groups combined. There's over a million arthropods, a group which includes insects.\n\nAbout 350,000 species of plants have been estimated to exist. As of 2004, some 287,655 species had been identified, of which 258,650 are flowering.\n\nI'm just adding them up.

umm that is an unclear answer. Here is a really great site about dragon fruit.

There are many different types of "sex" practiced in the plant and animal kingdoms besides the type we humans are familiar with. There are species in which the fathers get pregnant (like seahorses). There are species where males will turn into females (or vice-versa) if it would help the species survive. There are lots of examples of parthenogensis (virgin birth). There are cases where a single individual (like a plant) will pollinate itself, but others where biology tries to prevent this, although the plant might be hermaphroditic. There are plants which have several different reproduction mechanisms; a piece of the root can produce a new individual, for example. Some organisms can engage in both sexual and asexual reproduction as well; earthworms, honeybees, and geckos can asexually reproduce. There are species with 3 or even more sexes (like the clam shrimp in the US, for example, which has 3 sexes, or possibly  the New Zealand lizard the tuatara, which appears to have 4 sexes. There are species where males just fertilize the eggs deposited by the female in some location (most fish). Bacteria and viruses reproduce in strange ways, by dividing, or by taking over the reproduction mechanism of some other organism. \n\nThe astounding variety of "sex" and/or reproduction just goes on and on and on. We are still learning about the amazing diversity of life on this planet. \n\nIf and when we ever discover life on other planets, you can be sure that they will have different ways to reproduce, that may or may not have anything to do with what we might recognize as sex, and probably using mechanisms we cannot even imagine.

The plant or the fruit? That's the trick.

What most people call seeds on the outside of the strawberry fruit are actually\nthe true fruits. Technically, they are achenes. In an achene, the single seed is\nenclosed by the ovary wall. A sunflower fruit is also an achene.\n\nA strawberry "fruit" is unusual because the red, fleshy part is the enlarged\nreceptacle. The receptacle is the enlarged tip of the flowering stem to which\nthe petals, sepals, stamens and carpels are attached. The strawberry is said to\nhave an accessory fruit because much tissue other than the ovary is part of the\n"fruit". Apples and pineapples are also accessory fruits.\n\nThe strawberry is also termed an aggregate fruit because it is formed from many\nseparate carpels of a single flower. Other aggregate fruits are raspberry and\nblackberry. \n\nSome people mistakenly refer to strawberries as a multiple fruit. In a multiple\nfruit, the carpels of several flowers merge to form the fruit. Pineapple and\nfigs are multiple fruits.

There are a lot more than eleven.  Biology texts\noften give details about only the commonest, and\nthey may list ten or eleven of these.  A college\nbiology text will normally at least list all of them, and the\nnumber will very from one reference to another,\ndepending on whether some of them are split up\nor not.  Twentyseven phyla (the plural of phylum)\nhave been recognized by many books, more or\nfewer by others.
