    From FLEX Circuits to Singing Trees: An AI Journey   What kind of rain would ice cream be like if the trees sang? Imagine a world where the rustling of leaves isn't just the wind, but a melody, a symphony of nature awakening the sleeping earth. And as the trees began to sing, rain, unlike any other, started to fall. Not the sharp, cold drops of a storm, but a gentle, slightly sweet rain, with each droplet a note harmonizing with the trees' chorus.

As we walk beneath their soft rain of blossoms, many admire the beautiful sight of flowers carpeting the ground, unaware of the poignant story behind them. Tung flowers are hermaphroditic, meaning they possess both male and female flowers on the same tree. After pollination, the female flowers produce fruit. However, here's the twist: producing fruit requires more energy than the tree can naturally afford to support both types of flowers. So, what happens? Having completed their pollination mission, the male flowers willingly fall. They sacrifice themselves to preserve the tree's strength, enabling the female flowers to thrive and bear fruit.
