What sort of fruit are you?

I have always been intrigued with this style of botanical sketch. These drawings seem so scientific, so official. They are also, I've found out, often inaccurate. If you look at collections of botanical drawings, you'll see the artists have added curly leaves or drooping tendrils or whatnot that the actual plants just don't have. Have you ever seen a pineapple that looked like this? But you believed the picture, didn't you-- because of the drawing technique.

If you were a fruit, what fruit would you be? I am most certainly a pineapple: prickly on the outside, and kind of funny looking. Sweet on the inside, if you give me a chance. Exotic, in a familiar sort of way. And chock full of vitamin C. Well maybe not that last one.

How about you?
