Rivash Soni Davnarayan posed a wildlife question this morning on #WiseOwlswildlife quiz!

This fast-growing climbing vine is famous for its bright green, cone-shaped flowers that look a bit like tiny, leafy pinecones. While beautiful caterpillars like the Comma butterfly love to eat its ...leaves, humans are much more interested in the sticky dust inside its cones. For hundreds of years, this plant has been the star ingredient used by brewers worldwide to give beverages its bitter flavor and distinct, herbal aroma.
What plant do you think this is?

Answer: Hops plant

Quick Facts:
1. Hops are incredibly fast growers. During their peak spring growing season, the vines (technically called "bines") can grow up to 30 centimetres in a single day, twisting clockwise around any support they can find.
2. From a botanical standpoint, the hops plant belongs to the Cannabis family. This makes it a close genetic cousin to the hemp and marijuana plants, which explains why they share similar aromatic compounds (terpenes) and distinct scents.
3. The hops used for brewing and valued in nature are strictly from the female plants. Female plants produce the resin-rich cones containing lupulin, while male plants are primarily used for breeding and are usually kept away from commercial fields to prevent seed production.
4. While completely safe for humans, hops are highly toxic to canine companions. If ingested by dogs, even in small amounts, hops can cause a dangerous condition called malignant hyperthermia, leading to a rapid and life-threatening rise in body temperature. AND,
5. Ancient Roman and Egyptian physicians used hops as a medicinal herb. Because of their natural sedative properties, hops were commonly used to treat anxiety, restlessness, and insomnia—often stuffed directly into pillows to help people sleep. Do not try this at home!
