New fruit--Pollia Condensata


I discovered a new fruit today on Pinterest.

It's the Pollia Condensata plant. It grows in the African rainforest, and scientists claim it's the most colorful plant ever seen.




It's skin changes color depending on the angle from which you look at it. I learned that animals don't eat this fruit. It's used mostly by animals for mimicry, mate choice and for signaling.

I find that sad. Fruit is meant to be eaten not just looked at.

This makes me wonder if I'm doing what God created me for. Am I loving and worshiping God like he hoped I would?

Am I a reflection of his love to others?

Something to think about.
