Pollinator of the Month
Pollinator of the Month will highlight the interdependency of certain species of native North American wildflowers and one of their animal pollinators. Most plants have a flower morphology, color, blooming period, and/or scent that will attract a particular type of pollinator to reap its food rewards of nectar and pollen. |
