Study on the Flowering and Fruiting Phenology and Pollen Activity of 9 Species of Epimedium
The flowering and fruiting phenology and pollen activity of 9 species of Epimedium were observed,the results showed that the flow-ering period was distributed from early March to late May,with a flowering rate of 6.5%-46.0%,and the fruit period was distributed from mid-March to early June,with a fruiting rate of 8%-36%.There were also differences in the time and length of flowering and fruiting period among different cultivars of Epimedium,and the duration of full flowering period was different. In both large flower group and small flower group,TTC method found that the strongest pollen activity period was half blooming period.
