Double flower mystery
Something that has always puzzled me is the way the very double-flowered
dandelion attracts bees and seems to be so good for them. With most other double flowers, bees gain very little because the many tiny florets which make up the 'cushion' at the centre of the flower have been turned to petals by (mostly) breeders or freaks of nature. Does anyone here with a better grasp of botany have an explanation for this apparent anomoly? -- Spider. On high ground in SE London gardening on heavy clay |
