Any place is good space

Any place is good space
Such is the ultimate and cryptic truth of every kind of organisms, large and small, every bug and weed. The flower in the crannied wall – it is a miracle. If not in the way Tennyson, the Victorian romantic bespoke the portent of full knowledge (by which “I should know what God and man is”), then certainly a consequence of all we understand from modern biology. Every kind of organism has reached this moment in time by threading one needle after another, throwing up brilliant artifices to survive and reproduce against nearly impossible odds. ~ Page 491 From "The Diversity of Life" E. O. Wilson : author

Wind-pollinated flowers release clouds of pollen often containing starch granules, but who wants to climb a tree or knock grains out of thousands of grass heads? One plant does provide lots of pollen, for a few days in spring, that’s easy to harvest providing you don’t mind wet feet. . . . . . PAGE 184
