*/ TIL bluebonnets germinate due to the conditions of the temparature and weather, not the amount of sunlight they get or chemical composition of the ground.
Interesting how plants have a variety of different ways of germinating.
Scientists Find a Gene That Enables a Plant to Become a Vampire

Dodder bursting out of a host stem to flower. They don't usually reside inside other plants so this was worth a pic. Normally they just wrap around another plant and send in root-like haustoria to suck the juices out, like the situation you can see on the left. #cuscuta #dodder #convolvulaceae #parasitic #parasite #plants #botany #biology
Shocker: This tropical tree thrives after being struck by lightning.
From @SciMag: "The almendro withstands thunderbolts that blast away parasitic vines."

Wild animals possess medical knowledge we can use. Monarch butterflies, chimps, and many other species use medicines derived from plants. #botany #chemistry #zoology #science #medicine https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg26535350-700-what-the-extraordinary-medical-know-how-of-wild-animals-can-teach-us/
New ScientistWhat the extraordinary medical know-how of wild animals can teach usBirds do it, chimps do it, even monarch butterflies do it – and by paying more attention to how animals self-medicate, we can find new treatments for ourselves
