Lazy weekend poll ~ open thread, mid-September 2017
Welcome to the weekend, and welcome to our usual open thread poll. Talk about anything you like — the fragrance you’re wearing today, the last perfume you smelled on the street, whatever.
Or, ask a question about fragrance, then see if anyone else has asked a question that you can answer…
The swapmeet, episode 11
Guys, really!! Do not respond to anyone else’s comment except to say that their email address does not work. ANYTHING else you need to say, say it in an email.
The swapmeet (episode 11) is open for business! PLEASE read the instructions! (Because then I can stop deleting all the replies that shouldn’t be there! If you want to swap for something, see #6 below!) For people who would like to chat in addition to, or instead of, swapping, there will be a poll along shortly.
Don’t know what swapping is, or you know but you’ve never tried it? See here. You can also take a look at the feedback from episode 3, episode 4, episode 5, episode 6 and episodes 7-8, episodes 9-10.
Please, do not participate if you do not have time to mail your items within the next two weeks! Another swapmeet will be coming up in the spring…
Coordinated signals of color and fragrance
The flowers use coordinated signals of color and fragrance to attract insects, which acquire pollen during floral visits and ensure pollination of the plants. In turn, the insects benefit by acquiring nectar and pollen as food.
By connecting visual and olfactory channels, the flowers render their signal stronger and more stable under the intense environmental conditions of the Aegean. On windy days, fragrances may dissipate but colors will remain viable floral attractants, whereas fragrance could be the primary attractant when flowers are concealed by the dense vegetation of the Phrygana scrublands.
