It's "wildflower" season again on social media. Great colourful displays BUT issues which need to be raised : 1) They are often not WILDFLOWERS 2) They are not the best for INSECTS, they may be (not always) to POLLINATORS 3) They certainly aren't MEADOWS Let me explain 1/n

Spores of Dicranum don't start out as either sex. Instead, their fate in the environment determines what they eventually develop into. Learn how the females of this genus dictate reproduction 🤔 indefenseofplants.com/blog/2…
