Today, I learned something new. I knew that ripening apples release some kind of gas that affects other fruit. But I learned that apparently, it can also affect living plants. Meaning that if you keep a windfall of apples in the same room as a potted rose, the rose will die. FML

Of course it also affects other plants. The flowers don't go "Oh I'm no fruit, I'll just ignore this." :p
