Dandelion Seeds Evolution and plants/trees: How do plants know how to shape their seeds?
Evolutionarily speaking: how did/do trees know how to shape their seed 'carriers'? (i.e. the helicopter seed or whirlybirds)...and how did the dandelion know how to make the fuzzy white things that carry their seeds? And how would they determine if it was a 'success' or not? Do trees have intellect to figure how to "package" their seeds in the most efficient manner, or perception of distance, or measures of 'success'?
It is all natural selection. Sexual reproduction produces a wide variety of shapes, sizes and appendages. Those that survive are likely to continue producing offspring. If the adaptations (mutations) are less well adapted, they will die out. It is totally random chance influenced by the ecosystem's abiotic and biotic factors.

Seeds need to germinate- cover the seeds with very hot water and let soak overnight or until they swell. Pick out those that didn't swell and repeat this process with them. Sow swollen seeds immediately in seeding mix, covering with two to three times their thickness. Do not over water or allow to dry out and provide good drainage and bright light. It should germinate within a few days with pretreatment. Do not over water and keep humidity low or fungal problems may occur.

Mimosa pudica 'The Sensitive Plant'
Can you save plant seeds for later?
I am growing some Sensitive Plants (Mimosa Pudica) and I have a ton of extra seeds. Can I save them to use later on? What special things do you have to do to keep them usable? Storage? Temp? Stuff like that. Thanks!
Yes you can save them.
Keep them in a cool, dark, dry place.
Do not use plastic bags for storage, a small paper bag works well
Vine Perennial Seeds Can someone please help me? I have a few questions about Cathedral Bells (Cup-and-saucer vine)?
First of all, I live in zone 5, Ontario Canada. I would like to grow Catherdral Bells up a few trellis and fences, but I have a few questions:
1: Are they a popular plant?
2: Are they a perennial in my area?
3: How fast to they grow? As fast as morning glories?
4: When do I plant, what are some tips on it?
5: Do you buy it as seeds, or as roots?
5: Do most nurserys have this vine? I haven't even heard of it until today!
Thanks in advance!
Here are my answers to you... firstly, I am also in USDA hardiness zone 5. Thanks for the reference... it makes answers so much easier.
1. Not very popular. They are not a heavy bloomer in my experience.
2. Not a perennial in zone 5.
3. Slower than morning glory, but still pretty quick.
4. I'd start them from seed, because it's going to be difficult to find as a plant. Start them indoors 2-3 weeks earlier than last frost. They are slow to germinate and I had erratic germination.
5. As seed.
6. I grew it for a couple years at the retail nursery I worked for (in Brighton MI), that is the only place I was aware of it available as a plant. Try a local farm market.
Tropical vine growing to 10 ft. or more. Can be grown in a container with trellis. Attractive foliage and large pink flowers makes this a popular plant

Is morning Glory a perennial or an annual plant?
Will the morning glory plant die this fall or come back only from seeds next year. I'm spraying roundup on the vine under my peach trees. Wonder if I'm wasting my time because the plant is about to go dormant or die. ?
It is good you are spraying it, However roundup is best effective when spraying when the plant is producing allot of new growth.ie late spring through mid summer, (but for that pesky weed, any time you can spray it) lol. you will find it to be a hearty plant ,requiring a couple of years of constant spraying, and a couple of times each season. Good luck. PS. if you pull it, the roots break off and it will propagateate from the pieces left behind also.
