When thinking of the flowering chaos brought on by #ClimateChange, I think of the insects being unable to find food. But the plants are in trouble too:
"This uneven shift in #flowering times has resulted in prolonged blooming periods for many species, leading to an “overcrowded” floral neighborhood.
This crowding could intensify competition for the attention of pollinating #insects, as 55% of the species now find themselves in a more congested flowering environment."
