*PLANTS CAN HEAR*

Honeybees return to their hive in Wehrheim near Frankfurt, Germany. Plants can “hear” bees buzzing and serve up more nectar when they are nearby, scientists have found. Amazingly, they can tell the difference between a bee’s buzz and that of a non-pollinating insect such as a wasp.

Plants can #hear. Study proved "in response to the bee #noises, the snapdragons increased the volume of nectar & its sugar content" wow. "There is growing evidence that both insects & plants can sense & transmit" #sound. The #plants also altered their "#genes that govern sugar transport & nectar production." #Research announced at internat'l convention in New Orleans (25th Internat'l Convention on #Acoustics/ 188th Meeting of the #Acoustical Society of America) this week.

strawberry kusamono update

it's been raining constantly for the last two days. the plants have enjoyed it. the strawberry kusamono sent up a flower...i may have fruit if the rodents don't eat it. i may get a better picture once the rain stops.

A wild strawberry plant, growing in a gnarled piece of wood, with green moss. The plant has sent up a flower spike, and one of the white flowers is open.

A Fouquieria splendens (ocotillo) is a very cool plant to see in bloom. For most of the year it looks like a long dead plant with twisted gray limbs full of long sharp thorns. But in the spring the ocotillo springs to life. It's long twisted gray limbs sprout small green leafs and large a large cluster of small flowers appears on the end of each branch.

A color portrait photo of a tall plant, about seven feet tall, with multiple branches sprouting from a central point on the ground. Each branch raises vertically toward the clear blue sky, but does so with numerous twists. The branches are covered in small green leafs. On the end of each branch is a conical shaped cluster of small red flowers.

I never thought I'd see this! It's a Yucca brevifolia (joshua tree) which is a keystone species of the Mojave Desert and a Carnegiea gigantea (saguaro) which is a keystone species of the Sonoran Desert. I saw several other occurrences of the two species growing next to each other in this area. Clearly, they mark a border between the two desert regions.

In the foreground on the left is a large plant with three thick vertical branches growing out of a single trunk near the ground. The branches reach upwards about ten feet high and fork into many smaller branches. Each branch has large knobs of narrow spiky green leafs. On the right is a equally tall narrow tubercular cactus with three arms that reach upward around a center part.
