It's that time of year when it's impossible to get into or out of a Whole Foods without being overwhelmed by the sickening, overpowering, cinnamon-scented pine cones.

The cone is the reproductive structure of a pine. It has the seeds in it. Most cones open up and spread the seed, however, a few species of pines hold their cones high and do not open them (Pinus contorta), see Serotiny, or they tardily open, as in some of the Yellow Pines (Virginia, Yellow, Pitch and Table Mountain). read more
