Dutchman's Breeches

Dutchman's Breeches

Thanks to our friend Monica Flint [http://www.flickr.com/photos/monicaflick/], who is serving as a docent and naturalist at the Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve, for the excellent flower walk today. Spring is in full swing here, and everything seems to be emerging at the same time.

Monica told us that Dutchman's Breeches are a fascinating plant. The seeds are spread by ants. To encourage ants to do this, the seeds have a fat-containing portion called an elaiosome. The ants transport the seeds to their nests to provide the high-energy fat from the elaisosome to their colony, and then the seeds themselves are rejected and placed in their debris pile, which is a rich medium for growth of the seeds.
