Semi-clean, because the dirt is washed off with not so clean water. After our walk we went home and had a real bath.

Spilled Seed April 30, 2020 at 07:17PM

When you look close at the stalks that support the Pistle and the Stamens, I am blown away by the amount of pollen that is thrown away.

I mean that as a question. Is there a culling in pollen distribution that advances life as a choice? What I mean is that I get the feeling that the individual pollens are like any man, trying to win the love of a good woman, and perhaps, perhaps those that actually win the pistle, are truely the stronger more intelligent pollens, and not just blown by the vagaries of the wind.
