Once female and male gametes (egg and pollen) have formed, pollination is the process that brings them together so fertilization may occur.

Pines, Conifers, Evergreens
Pine, spruce, fir, hemlock, cypress, cedar, larch--not all these trees are evergreens, although all have needle-like leaves and produce cones, so they are conifers.

Vines Part 6 - More Ivy Plus
Ivy is an remarkably variable plant. Leaf size, shape and coloration differ tremendously among cultivars, most of which have been found as mutations rather than having been bred on purpose. Not only do cultivars vary, individual plants, depending on their level of maturity, can have leaves that bear almost no resemblance to others growing a few inches away. There are also other vines I grow or want to grow plus a lot of photos and images in this article, so please be patient while it loads.

What's in a Name? Taxonomy
Plant names can be frustrating, especially the scientific names (botanical epithets or binomials) and especially when those change once you've finally gotten them to stick in your brain. Why are they important? Where did they come from? And, why do they change all the time? Join me on a journey of discovery.
