Spring has sprung! The trees have leaves, the flowers are in bloom, and snow is (almost) a distant memory.* And here at FYFD, we’re getting ready to kick off a full week of celebrating the intersection of fluid dynamics and plants.
To get you into the mood, here’s a look at some previous plant-filled posts:
– How trees use negative pressure to hydrate
– The catapulting seeds of the hairyflower wild petunia
– Seeds that self-dig
– How desert moss drinks from the air
– The swimming of zoospores
Stay tuned all next week for lots more plant physics!
