What the gently caress :aaa: That's very cool! I'd love to know what about plants allows that to happen. Is it all the capillaries, stems, and other hollow structures? Also, why is it so hot? Why does it make the plants so hot, all the way down to the end of the branch/stem? (I know nothing about AM radio antennas.)

It's being pumped full of enough electricity to broadcast that channel all over the local region.

There's nothing special about the plants except that in that video they are creating an electric arc that is modulated at the same amplitude as the radio signal (because they are one in the same thing).

it's kinda like those tesla coil discharge music videos, eg

only much stupider and more dangerous. If he were to touch the antenna base the arcing would also play the sound of the radio station as it fried him to death.

It’s a strawberries & cream tree.

e: Actually, your example might have all the pink and white blossoms on separate branches. Not a graft chimæra, just a normal grafted tree that happens to have worked out to a visually pleasing balance of growth.

Yeah each branch is all pink or all white. I think it's some kind of atavism or something. Definitely not a deliberate effect, because every other tree on the street has just the pink flowers. Just this one decided to go back to their roots(tock).

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
I watched my car do a milestone rollover though I can't remember which for. I slowed down to about 20 miles per hour on a lonely stretch of interstate at like 3 in the morning
