Purple loosestrife<\/h3>\n
Three different flowers \"?\"<\/span>\"?\"<\/span>\"?\"<\/span>\"?\"<\/span><\/div>\n
The purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) is an herbaceous plant belonging to the Lythraceae family.<\/div>\n
During late summer, the banks of ditches light up thanks to its purplish-red flowers. This plant easily grows in damp areas where willows are particularly common: its leaves resemble those of willows, hence the species name “salicaria.”<\/div>\n
The purple loosestrife can produce 3 different types of flowers \"?\"<\/span>\"?\"<\/span>\"?\"<\/span> that differ in the length of styles and stamens, but each plant carries only one type of flower. This feature was studied by Darwin. A bee \"?\"<\/span> that feeds on nectar from one type of flower will receive a dusting of pollen that will pollinate a complementary flower. This system ensures that the flowers of a plant are fertilized only by pollen from another of the same species.<\/div>\n
\"\u2049\ufe0f\"<\/span> Did you know? \"?\"<\/span><\/div>\n
In the countryside, it was believed that little genies \"?\u200d\u2642\ufe0f\"<\/span>, guardians of gold mines, were hidden in the plant.<\/div>\n
