Lapeirousia fabricii early or late

They don’t always hear the starter gun! Some plants do their thing early, others late. Something in the soil, the size and age of the corm, a warmer patch of ground, or some other trigger makes a Lapeirousia fabricii sprout earlier or later in season.

The early or the late one best off? That depends on what happens to growth during the period chosen by each. Nature wins when some of the plants avoid enough of the risks for setting seed.

The percentage game is played in nature without calculator. Courage, ignorance, chutzpah or lack of fear come to mind in the endeavours of people. Here the actions flow as part of responses to prompts in the long-standing design of living nature.
