Seed dispersal
Species that survive are species that reproduce and spread. Plants can't walk, so in order to spread, flowering plants need ways to get their seeds to new locations.

Of Weeds And Thugs, Part1
Wouldn't it be nice if our gardens only held the plants we like? No one loves to weed, especially when they get out of hand. And have you ever planted something you regreted later? Find out what you are up against and what you can do about it in this two part article.
