[[Image:Benzaldehyde.png|right|Benzaldehyde molecule]]The chemical compound '''benzaldehyde''' (C₆H₅CHO) consists of a [[benzene]] ring with an [[aldehyde]] group attached to one carbon. It is an important component of the scent of [[almond]]s and has a pleasant, almond-like odor. On oxidation, benzaldehyde is converted into [[benzoic acid]], which has an odor quite unpleasant.

The gov't photo is IMO opinion much better than the one I contributed, which is grainy, has too shallow depth of field, and suffers from a tonal merger on the left. I would not mind at all if we took the first picture off, unless the image of not-ripe blueberries is crucial somehow (in which case I should go get a better shot of them in May).

:Nevermind, it was really not so good and I removed it. If no one objects, I'll delete it from the server. [[User:Koyaanis Qatsi|--KQ]]

Perhaps other blueberries native to the Americas such as Sparkleberry (''Vaccinium arboreum''), ''Vaccinium constablaei'', Darrow's Evergreen Blueberry, Highbush blueberry (''Vaccinium corymbosum''), Rabbiteye blueberry (''Vaccinium ashei''), Lowbush blueberry (''Vaccinium angustifolium'') should be mentioned? The article mentions US blueberries, but doesn't specify the species. // [[User:Liftarn|Liftarn]]
