Excuse my dirty windows- toddler in the house😂. Caught this female ruby throated hummingbird enjoying my wild bed of zinnias and milkweed. This is exactly why I plant them- all for nature.
My plants have certainly grown since last year and the local pollinators definitely love it
Some friends and I were camping in Northern Ontario near Nipissing. The Bumble bees were pretty difficult to photograph cause they didn't stay very long on the flowers. I noticed this one kinda stuck around for a while, so I thought hmm why not try to get a shot of it.
Hello!
I am entering my final year of undergrad where I study Human Physiology. Through my biology courses and love of nature, I have found a particular interest in plant biology. I’ve begun to accumulate lab essentials in order to conduct independent research and experiments at home, quickly becoming my most expensive (and fun) hobby…
I am particularly interested in angiosperms (flowering plants), and therefore their relationship and coevolution with pollinators.
I’m looking for a book(s) that can be used as a quick-reference guide while simultaneously having comprehensive physiology, anatomy, pathology, cytology, and bio/phytochemistry. Again, with a particular focus on angiosperms.
If you have recommendations that are more “fun” and less scientific reads, I welcome those too!
I have a strong biology/chemistry/physics background, so I am not opposed to comprehensive textbooks and/or research-heavy books. Many of the book recommendations I’ve found here seem to be out-dated to an extent, so I thought I’d ask. Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks.
Just a couple close ups I shot of some friendly bees checking out the passionfruit flowers!
