Plant of the Day
Monday 12 April 2021
The branches Ostrya carpinifolia (hop hornbeam) were covered with the long male catkins and once I looked carefully there were the small female flowers, once fertilised the latter turn into fruit resembling a hop. This deciduous tree grows well in a warm and sheltered site in most soil types.

Giant ragweed (Ambrosia trifida) is in bloom, ramping up its production of pollen. If you live where it lives and have recently had an onset or worsening of allergy/respiratory type problems, this is probably why. Over the next week or so more and more of the plants will start making pollen, and they will continue at full strength for a couple weeks before gradually declining. Great time to see your friendly neighborhood herbalist about something that will modify your immune system's response to the pollen. . . . . #ragweed #lexingtonky #lexington #kentucky #sharethelex #allergens #pollen #hayfever #histamine #windpollination
Corn flowers are flowers too! I grew up surrounded by corn fields and I've grown small patches of corn since I was a child - never really thinking about the tassels and silks as flowers. It's probably because I'm an animal and I'm not the wind. If I was the wind: these tassels, each dangling their thousands of anthers, would deposit millions of dusty pollen grains into my gusts to travel sometimes miles, but usually feet, for a couple short minutes of airborne life. Some lucky grains would land quickly on the female silks, each one forming a kernel. Beets, spinach, corn, sorghum, oats, barley: the beauty of their flowers may be in the eye of the beholder - and they are held lovingly by the wind. #corntassels #cornanthers #cornflowers #cornpollination #windpollination #oaxacangreendent #imananimal #ifiwasthewind (at Newtown Square, Pennsylvania)
