About The Colors of Pollen
When you think of pollen what color comes to mind?
If your answer is YELLOW, you are correct. About 75% of plant species have yellow (or white) colored pollen. But did you know that the remaining portion of species has pollen color across the color spectrum?
See for yourself:
The genus, Geranium, has flowers that appear to be the exception (not the rule) when it comes to pollen color and we want to know WHY?
