Ok, i just saw this new commerical for a Fuji digital camera where this dad is grilling a sales person about whether or not this camera will capture all the fine parts of a flower such as the petals, stamina, pistil, and finally peduncle; then the commercial cuts to "funny" twist and suddenly you want to buy it or whatever! I had no idea what a peduncle was so I just had to look it up. In case you were as curious as i was, here’s a helpful diagram.
