Snapdragon Vine (
Maurandya antirrhiniflora) aka Roving Sailor (my favorite common name) was blooming several weeks ago along the north side of the Bear Canyon bridge. The vine is winding through the
Button Bush (
Cephalanthus occidentalis), so look carefully. If you get a photo of a fruit, I'll publish it here!
For the advanced learner: Like most flowers, this one has male and female parts on the same flower; hummingbirds like it, insects like it, too. Ask your kid(s): How do you think the pollen gets from one flower to another?
