Title: The description of this section?

Does anyone else keep on reading the first two words describing the contents of this section as being 'soft porn' or do I simply need some therapy? :roflanim:

Yes! I do!! Didn't post as thought it was just me.   :innocent:
 
Thought it might be a section for Knobweed, Pinus, Bushpoppy or Stinking Willie.

 
PS: (those really are real plant names folks, honest)

I hadn't noticed (I'm so sweet and innocent  :eyelashes: )
 
What is 'pome' anyway?

'A pome is an accessory fruit composed of one or more carpels surrounded by accessory tissue'.
Loosely speaking what we might call a 'core'.
E.g. Apples, Pears, Quince.

I wondered what it was but didn't like to ask. Didn't see it as soft porn though. Too sweet and innocent.  :innocent:

It doesn't help, that my eyes are going and before anyone says anything, I can assure you that my failing eyesight has nothing what so ever to do with soft porn. :o
