  1. The common #daisy, #Bellis #perennis (#Asteraceae), was originally native to the #Mediterranean region, Western Asia, and North Africa. It arrived in Central Europe through early human activity and is therefore named an #archaeophyte. A. Rathore et al. (2024) identified two #begomoviruses from it for the first time using PCR and full-length DNA analysis.

  2. Northeastern North America might not have the lush colours of the tropics but I still think the metallic green sweat bees (_Agapostemon_) on the bright purple and saffron New England aster (_Symphyotrichum novae-angliae_) are just as fine to look at as any rainforest scene.
