Dodder (Cuscuta europaea, Convolvulaceae, according to recent genetic research by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group) is a parasitic plant. The blooms are small with white-pinkish almost transparent petals. The plant does not perform photosynthesis (does not have chlorophyll) but instead produces haustoria that insert themselves into the vascular system of the host plant from which dodder takes its nutrients (dodder does not have roots).

Plumbago auriculata Lamarck, 1786 - blue plumbago in Florida, USA. (January 2016)
Plants are multicellular, photosynthesizing eucaryotes. Most species occupy terrestrial environments, but they also occur in freshwater and saltwater aquatic environments. The oldest known land plants in the fossil record are Ordovician to Silurian. Land plant body fossils are known in Silurian sedimentary rocks - they are small and simple plants (e.g., Cooksonia). Fossil root traces in paleosol horizons are known in the Ordovician. During the Devonian, the first trees and forests appeared. Earth's initial forestation event occurred during the Middle to Late Paleozoic. Earth's continents have been partly to mostly covered with forests ever since the Late Devonian. Occasional mass extinction events temporarily removed much of Earth's plant ecosystems - this occurred at the Permian-Triassic boundary (251 million years ago) and the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary (65 million years ago).
The most conspicuous group of living plants is the angiosperms, the flowering plants. They first unambiguously appeared in the fossil record during the Cretaceous. They quickly dominated Earth's terrestrial ecosystems, and have dominated ever since. This domination was due to the evolutionary success of flowers, which are structures that greatly aid angiosperm reproduction.
The blue plumbago is an angiosperm that is native to southern Africa, but it has been cultivated elsewhere as a decorative flowering plant.

THE AGE OF FLOWERING PLANTS
ANGIOSPERM means "seed borne in vessel," while GYMNOSPERM means "naked seed," a reference to the lack of protective structure enveloping the seed. One reason that flowering plants were able to diversify so dramatically and spread during the Cretaceous and Cenozoic, or modern, the era was the evolution of new structures and tissues such as the carpel, a womb-like vessel that encloses angiosperm seeds and endosperm, a placenta-like tissue that nourishes the young plant as it develop within the seed, Today, angiosperm dominate terrestrial life on the planet. At an estimated 422,000 species, they compose by far the largest group of plants. They grow in greater range of environments, exhibits a wider range of growth habits, and display more variation in form than any living group of plants. In size, angiosperm range from tiny duckweed to eucaplytuses more than 330 ft (100 m) tall. The explosion of angiosperm diversity has gone hand in hand with the proliferation of insect, birds, and other animals that pollinate their flowers, disperse their fruits and seeds, and eat their leaves.

Nelumbo nucifera, also known as Indian lotus, sacred lotus, bean of India, Egyptian bean or simply lotus, is one of two extant species of aquatic plant in the family Nelumbonaceae. It is often colloquially called a water lily. Under favorable circumstances the seeds of this aquatic perennial may remain viable for many years, with the oldest recorded lotus germination being from that of seeds 1,300 years old recovered from a dry lakebed in northeastern China.[1]
It has a very wide native distribution, ranging from central and northern India (at altitudes up to 1,400 m or 4,600 ft in the southern Himalayas[2]), through northern Indochina and East Asia (north to the Amur region; the Russian populations have sometimes been referred to as "Nelumbo komarovii"), with isolated locations at the Caspian Sea.[3] Today the species also occurs in southern India, Sri Lanka, virtually all of Southeast Asia, New Guinea and northern and eastern Australia, but this is probably the result of human translocations.[3] It has a very long history (c. 3,000 years) of being cultivated for its edible seeds,[3] and it is commonly cultivated in water gardens.[2] It is the national flower of India and Vietnam.

Welcome to beautiful Leu Gardens. Explore an amazing 50-acre botanical oasis minutes from downtown Orlando. Each garden is designed specifically to further our mission: inspire visitors to appreciate and understand plants. The Leu House Museum located in the heart of the gardens reveals turn-of-the century living for the families who once called this home. The gardens and historical home were donated to the City of Orlando in 1961 by Mr. Harry P. Leu and his wife, Mary Jane.
The flowering plants (angiosperms), also known as Angiospermae Lindl or Magnoliophyta, are the most diverse group of land plants. Angiosperms are seed-producing plants like the gymnosperms and can be distinguished from the gymnosperms by a series of synapomorphies (derived characteristics). These characteristics include flowers, endosperm within the seeds, and the production of fruits that contain the seeds. Etymologically, angiosperm means a plant that produces seeds within an enclosure; they are fruiting plants, although more commonly referred to as flowering plants.

Early spring brings out the birch leaves, slowly at first and then in a flush of growth. I am fascinated by the shapes that characterizes leaves as they unfold. I think these birch leaves are curled over like this because of their common (though distant) ancestry with ferns. By the way these leaves are good to eat when they first emerge. Don't worry, there are more that will take their place.

In the second 4-nucleate stage of embryo sac development in Lilium, the two nuclei at the chalazal end are triploid, the two at the micropylar end are haploid. Lilium undergoes a tetrasporic, Fritillaria sequence of divisions and fusions to ultimately produce an 8-nucleate embryo sac.
This embryo sac represents the megagametophyte in the Angiosperm life cycle.
Zinnia sp. - zinnia cultivar in Ohio, USA. (7 July 2018)
Plants are multicellular, photosynthesizing eucaryotes. Most species occupy terrestrial environments, but they also occur in freshwater and saltwater aquatic environments. The oldest known land plants in the fossil record are Ordovician to Silurian. Land plant body fossils are known in Silurian sedimentary rocks - they are small and simple plants (e.g., Cooksonia). Fossil root traces in paleosol horizons are known in the Ordovician. During the Devonian, the first trees and forests appeared. Earth's initial forestation event occurred during the Middle to Late Paleozoic. Earth's continents have been partly to mostly covered with forests ever since the Late Devonian. Occasional mass extinction events temporarily removed much of Earth's plant ecosystems - this occurred at the Permian-Triassic boundary (251 million years ago) and the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary (65 million years ago).
The most conspicuous group of living plants is the angiosperms, the flowering plants. They first unambiguously appeared in the fossil record during the Cretaceous. They quickly dominated Earth's terrestrial ecosystems, and have dominated ever since. This domination was due to the evolutionary success of flowers, which are structures that greatly aid angiosperm reproduction.
Zinnias are native to the New World and occur naturally in parts of North, Central, and South America. They have been extensively cultivated as decorative plants. The center of each flower head consists of disc flowers. The colorful "petals" surrounding the center are ray flowers.

The Hernandiaceae are related to Lauraceae and are basal angiosperms. Calyx and corolla are very similar, both having three members. The branches of the cymes are subtended by bracts that are green and leafy at the lowest branches but become off-white and petaloid towards the tip of the cyme.
THE AGE OF FLOWERING PLANTS
ANGIOSPERM means "seed borne in vessel," while GYMNOSPERM means "naked seed," a reference to the lack of protective structure enveloping the seed. One reason that flowering plants were able to diversify so dramatically and spread during the Cretaceous and Cenozoic, or modern, the era was the evolution of new structures and tissues such as the carpel, a womb-like vessel that encloses angiosperm seeds and endosperm, a placenta-like tissue that nourishes the young plant as it develop within the seed, Today, angiosperm dominate terrestrial life on the planet. At an estimated 422,000 species, they compose by far the largest group of plants. They grow in greater range of environments, exhibits a wider range of growth habits, and display more variation in form than any living group of plants. In size, angiosperm range from tiny duckweed to eucaplytuses more than 330 ft (100 m) tall. The explosion of angiosperm diversity has gone hand in hand with the proliferation of insect, birds, and other animals that pollinate their flowers, disperse their fruits and seeds, and eat their leaves.

En biologie, chez les plantes à fleurs (angiospermes), la fleur constitue l'organe de la reproduction sexuée et l'ensemble des « enveloppes » qui l'entourent. Après la pollinisation, la fleur est fécondée et se transforme en fruit contenant les graines. Les fleurs peuvent être solitaires, mais elles sont le plus souvent regroupées en inflorescences.
Très tôt, les fleurs ont attiré l’attention de l’homme, qui les utilise et les cultive pour la parure (couronne de fleurs), pour l’ornementation intérieure (fleurs coupées, bouquets, ikebana) et extérieure (jardins, plates-bandes, etc.) ainsi que pour leurs odeurs et pigments. Les fleurs ont souvent inspiré les artistes, peintres, poètes, sculpteurs et décorateurs. La culture des fleurs est la floriculture, une branche de l'horticulture.
La plupart des fleurs sont hermaphrodites, c'est-à-dire qu'elles ont à la fois des organes reproducteurs mâles et femelles : elles ont un pistil et des étamines. Les étamines sont la partie mâle (qui libère du pollen), et le pistil la partie femelle (qui reçoit le pollen). Certaines plantes comme le pistachier ou le kiwi ont des fleurs qui ne sont pas hermaphrodites : elles sont soit mâles, soit femelles, les scientifiques parlent de fleurs gonochoriques. D'autres plantes comme l'avocatier ont des fleurs qui sont successivement mâles et femelles, on parle alors d'hermaphrodisme successif.
La fleur hermaphrodite est constituée de pièces florales insérées sur un réceptacle floral. Lorsque la fleur est complète, elle comprend quatre verticilles de pièces florales. De l'extérieur vers l'intérieur, on rencontre :
le calice, formé par l'ensemble des sépales ;
la corolle, formée par l'ensemble des pétales ;
l'androcée, c'est-à-dire l'ensemble des étamines (partie mâle), qui produit le pollen ;
le gynécée ou pistil, formé par l'ensemble des carpelles (partie femelle).
Calice et corolle forment le périanthe, enveloppe stérile, qui joue un rôle protecteur pour les pièces fertiles, et attractif pour les animaux pollinisateurs.
Ce plan théorique de la fleur, que l'on trouve typiquement chez le bouton d'or (Renonculacées), est sujet à de nombreuses variations. On rencontre par exemple des fleurs sans pétales, dites « apétales ». Une fleur mixte est une fleur qui possède à la fois étamines et pistil.
« La fleur double est celle dont quelqu'une des parties est multipliée au-delà de son nombre naturel, mais sans que cette multiplication nuise à la fécondation. Les fleurs se doublent rarement par le calice, presque jamais par les étamines. Leur multiplication la plus commune se fait par la corolle. Les exemples les plus fréquents sont dans les fleurs polypétales, comme œillets, anémones, renoncules ; les fleurs monopétales doublent moins communément. Cependant on voit assez souvent des campanules, des primevères auricules, et surtout des jacinthes à fleur double. Ce mot de fleur double ne marque pas dans le nombre des pétales une simple duplication, mais une multiplication quelconque. Soit que le nombre des pétales devienne double, triple, quadruple, etc., tant qu'ils ne multiplient pas au point d'étouffer la fructification, la fleur garde toujours le nom de fleur double ; mais, lorsque les pétales trop multipliés font disparaître les étamines et avorter le germe, alors la fleur perd le nom de fleur double et prend celui de fleur pleine. »
