obviously in plants,particularly the ones that regenerate compleately new organs every year,is different and slower...but think about it...the older plants around known can have 10-15000 years?...There are no plants around that are milions years old....

But the limitation of no million year old plants being around is a result of sexual reproduction and evolution changing the plant to a new species for the progeny that are dispersed.
It could be possible to have an individual plant live a million years if the environment it was located in remained constant. So based on this concept let's assume the plant reproduces vegetative for a million years and never mutates but the earth mutates (erodes) away and no longer provides a home for the un-mutated plant. That is why there are no 1 million year old plants.

..is better you go to Peru' during Pk flowering season and go see flowered plants in the wild,to solve your doubts.
Good luck!

I'll be there in January and will have a look at wild pk to find one without yellow.

No, the reproduction process of a cell doesnt work properly by 100%. And the bugs in the genetic control structures summarize at each reproduction step and lead to death after a certain number of steps.

To confirm my theory I hope You are not sucessful

Do you want to define the exact color of yellow?

Do you want to define the exact color of yellow?

Yes, let us take the colour RAL 1026 ( luminous yellow) as the discussion base.

and please have a look at the pollinators

The actual pollinators will be the RAL 1026 colored ones that go to the flowers correct? oke:

Isn't it time that this topic is split?

 

[gonewild]

Split the topic? I don't know maybe it is big enough to divide. Just need to make sure both divisions have good roots.
