#proterandric — Public Fediverse posts

#Blueweed #meadows fascinate me. The #flowers of blueweed rise from red bulbs into blue #blossoms (attached photos), and they ripen in two steps, first the male parts become fertile, only then the female parts, a phenomenon that is called #proterandric. The species is used for #greenroofs, important in #globalwarming times, see paper of authors A. Latini et al. (2022).
