Plant of the Day

Thursday 29 February 2024

Even at the end of winter Echinacea purpurea 'Rubinstern' (purple coneflower) can still be providing a display with the previous season’s flower heads. It will soon be time to cut these back as the new foliage begins to grow from the base.

The flower doesn't dream of the bee. It blossoms and the bee comes.

Taxonomy Tournament: Echinoderm Finale!

Articulata. This class is made up of sea lilies, which have a stalk an attach themselves to substrate in their adult forms, and feather stars, which are free-moving. They feed using arms with feathery pinnules.

Echinacea. This superorder of sea urchins in the largest. They have a rigid test, hard spines, and gills.

Echinacea (coneflower) and Megachile (leafcutter bee)

Preparations

Obviously, this white coneflower has seen better days but, hey, cut it some slack - it's still pumping out nectar in October. At this time of year, leafcutter bees are looking for food for their kids to get them through the winter. This is a critical time for the adult bees because most of their larvae will spin their cocoons and go into a prepupal state known as diapause.

Diapause involves increasing the concentration of glycerol (anti-freeze) in body tissues which will enable bee prepupae to survive low temperatures. In a few weeks time, all of the adult leafcutter bees will be gone but not before ensuring the survival of the next generation.

Of course, the coneflower is essentially following the same strategy. This Echinacea wants to get pollinated as quickly as possible so it can set its seeds before the first snowflakes arrive.
