Andrea B. Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 These "flat" style Eremophilas seem to have much more signaling in all ranges - visible, UV and fluorescence. And as you once mentioned these are the Eremophila types evolved to provide a "landing platform" for their pollinators as opposed to the tubular type which are bird pollinated. It all seems to makes sense, doesn't it? Link to comment
DaveO Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Just when I think I'm getting on top of taking these Eremophila we visit yet another plant sale and we get more ;)Dave Link to comment
