from Wikipedia>>>The cherry is the fruit of many plants of the genus Prunus, and is a fleshy drupe (stone fruit). (notice the word"plants"?)

Please if you're going to argue my comment at least try not to agree that I'm right. It's a fruit of a plant, not a plant in itself. Your entry represents a carnivorous fruit, ... Where is the plant?

From the contest description: "Imagine any sort of plant that could eat people"

If you argue that a cherry is the product of a plant, then your entry should really focus on both the plant and the fruit. for example, the cherry is the fruit that leads unwilling prey into the jaws of the plant. That kind of approach would have been more in-line with the contest goal IMHO.

On a more personal level I think the entry is great though.

Thanks!

Thanks!
