Flowering time influences both #grain yield and #adaptability in #rice. In a new study, Wei et al. report that the florigen-like protein OsFTL1 promotes #flowering...without essential florigens Hd3a and RFT1. https://doi.org/10.1111/jipb.13856

A self-sown #Prunus in the privet hedge at the front has been #flowering for several days. It is full of bees and other early insects.
Genetic mechanism of alternating sexes in #walnut #trees has some parallels to #SexDetermination in humans https://phys.org/news/2025-01-genetic-mechanism-alternating-sexes-walnut.html
Ancient structural variants control sex-specific #flowering time morphs in #walnuts and #hickories https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ado5578
"A walnut #tree produces #flowers of one sex, then the other in the same season, but trees differ in which one comes first. Individual trees are consistently male-first or female-first in flowering."

This year I did a very late sowing of #tomatoes to stay in the unheated #greenhouse. Just out of curiosity. They are #flowering now. We’ll see what happens next …
I like big buds and I cannot lie…

Current #hostas situation.
All of my #flowering hostas are behind with blooming this year. Been a slow & cooler start to Spring.
2 different #bees & 1 wasp - on this raspberry red #flowering #sedum patch. Huge #pollinators attractant.
#Dipelta #floribunda - #deciduous #flowering #shrub - native to Central #China, widely #cultivated as #pollinators attractant #plant. Ours is now over 12 feet tall & loaded with #flowers.

The latest ripening of my apple trees is in flower now. What a magnificent flowering season this has been. I wonder what we must expect going forward, given we did not have a real winter and that is supposed to affect flowering and fruit set. #horticulture #orchard #flowering

Begin Again - the lovely Magnolia tree is back and filled with buds. So happy to see this. A favorite flowering tree.
