Why Do Tropical Flowers Blossom More Fully? Transplant Tips

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the beauty of dicot flowers in tropical regions, attributed to favorable environmental conditions such as temperature and biodiversity, which enhance their vibrant colors and full blossoms. The presence of diverse pollinators in these areas is suggested as a factor that drives the evolution of vivid floral displays, aiding in successful reproduction. The conversation also explores the possibility of transplanting flowers, emphasizing the importance of replicating their native soil, moisture, and light conditions to achieve similar blooming results. Additionally, vegetative propagation is discussed as a method of cloning plants, allowing offspring to inherit the same genetic traits as the parent, potentially resulting in equally vibrant flowers if optimal growing conditions are maintained.

I am reading an introductory book for dummies about different kinds of flowers on earth, I am wondering why do such flowers as dicots in tropical everwet, summerwet, and winterwet look more beautiful than those in other areas. They fully blossom. My guess is because of the temperature or environmental conditions that make big differences. May I ask if that is possible for any kind of transplatation of flowers such that their siblings(acceptors) after transplanted can blossom as fully as their donors ? What part of the flowers are going to be the candidates for transplantation ?
Thanks

Plants blossom fully in temporate, subtropical and even xeric habitats. Perhaps you mean, there is a larger variety of plants with vivid floral colors and display.

I don't know why. My guess is it's a survival or adaptational advantage. There is a larger variety of pollinators (insects, birds, bats) in tropical areas. Those plants with more vivid colors attract more pollinators and successfully produce seed that germinate into the next generation. Many flowers even appear in the UV (ultraviolet) band of light which attract bees for pollination.

May I ask if that is possible for any kind of transplatation of flowers such that their siblings(acceptors) after transplanted can blossom as fully as their donors ? What part of the flowers are going to be the candidates for transplantation ?
If you are just transplanting them, you want to choose a soil, moisture & light conditions that closely resemble their native habitat. A green house is typically used for culture of tropical orchids. The transplants will bear seeds and perhaps some of their offspring will blossom as vividly as their parents.

If you are actually thinking about vegetative propagation, that is different. This is actually cloning the parent plant, so each offspring has the same genetic makeup as the parent. Not every plant can be vegetatively propagated the same way. Here are some examples (cutting, runner, mounding, air layering, soil layering, tissue culture). It would take several paragraphs to explain each. Instead I recommend looking up the key words propagation and plant on the web.

These clones have the potential to flower as vividly as their parent plant, if you provide soil, moisture and light conditions similar to their native habitat.

The study provides critical new insights into the African Humid Period, a time between 14,500 and 5,000 years ago when the Sahara desert was a green savanna, rich in water bodies that facilitated human habitation and the spread of pastoralism. Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant. Genomic analyses reveal that the...
Whenever these opiods are mentioned they usually mention that e.g. fentanyl is "50 times stronger than heroin" and "100 times stronger than morphine". Now it's nitazene which the public is told is everything from "much stronger than heroin" and "200 times stronger than fentany"! Do these numbers make sense at all? How do they arrive at them? Kill thousands of mice? En passant: nitazene have already been found in both Oxycontin pills and in street "heroin" here, so Naloxone is more...
