On-topic, pine cones are really interesting! They are the female reproductive organs of the tree. The male cones produce pollen, which gets captured by the female cone and fertilized into seeds (pine nuts). The scales on the female cone open up slightly for pollination, remain closed for fertilization, then open up again once the seed is fully formed and ready to be released. Off-topic, but I'm in a meeting so I watched the video with the "Automated Captions" turned on. I didn't realize that the captions will actually overlay on top of the subtitles when Chinese is being spoken--it results in some, eh, interesting sentences: "Dr. She, the one you need to do that kitchen." "Long time. Your cakehole, who is Jonathan Joseph?"
