Summary[edit]
.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | He is the catkin on the left, so big he doesn't fit in the frame. She is the diminutive red starlet on the right. Look closely and you may see the grains of pollen that may grow inside her until she produces a bunch of bonny bouncing hazelnuts.Each golden catkin has numerous male flowerlets each releasing clouds of pollen. Each crimson flower is in fact a cluster of 6 flowers, each with 2 styles bearing the stigma that receive the pollen. Maybe the pollen on this flower is from the nearby catkin or maybe it is from the catkins on another bush in the hedge. It is only the latter that will produce nuts here, because hazel is monoecious, meaning that although catkins and female flowers both appear on the same tree, the flowers must be pollinated by pollen from other trees. So Mr and Mrs Hazel will only raise a family of nuts if the Mrs has "played away", as they say. |
