Plant of the Day

Thursday 11 June 2026

Cedric Morris was an artist and plantsman who collected variations of annual poopies he noticed in local arable fields. This plant continues as seed sold as Papaver rhoeas 'Cedric Morris' (poppy, corn poppy). The flowers come in dusky shades of silvery pink, lavender, mauve and white. Plants thrive in any well-drained fertile soil in full sun.

For fish in the genus Poecilia, there's nothing more attractive than a little male-on-male action. Several studies have shown that females more often prefer to mate with males that they observe having relations with other males-- as well as with females of other Poecilia species. Homosexual behavior is especially common in subordinate males unable to secure and defend a territory their own, which indicates that they might use these couplings to demonstrate their fitness and lure females away from a dominant male's territory.
