Another Year of Pollination: Viscin Threads

While we’re on the subject of pollen-gluing mechanisms, there is another material apart from pollenkitt that a limited number of flowering plant families use to link their pollen grains together. It functions, much like pollenkitt, by aiding in the attachment of pollen to visiting animals. However, unlike pollenkitt, it isn’t sticky, oily, or viscous, and is instead more like a series of threads.…

Plant of the Day

Thursday 8 December 2022

The biennial Oenothera biennis (evening primrose, fever plant, field primrose, four o'clock, night willowherb, cure-all) produces erect seed-heads as a winter feature once the fragrant, yellow flowers are over. This plant is native to North America but has naturalised in the UK. The flowers open in the evening and attract night-flying pollinators such as moths.

Reading native plant gardening books in the library and when I look up my favorite plants they're all like "This plant easily becomes a WEED that is IMPOSSIBLE TO ERADICATE. If you aren't careful, this AGGRESSIVE plant will TAKE OVER YOUR ENTIRE GARDEN, KILL everything else you have planted, RUIN your marriage, and BEAT YOUR ASS"
