Description
Krasylenko and Teixeira-Costa tracked in twenty twenty-five a ghost plant that lives off tree roots and blooms in spring. The plant, toothwort, can hide below ground for up to ten years before it blooms. They watched one group for fourteen years to see if sky change shifts its bloom time.
Bloom and seed shed came a bit earlier each year, by days in all across the span. Those shifts did not track local heat or rain in a firm way. Cues from the host tree may rule its clock more than sky does. Early bloom may drift it out of step with its bee mates.
