Judy West on Asexuality through Promiscuity

When it comes to flowering plants’ sex lives and their partners, they cover the whole spectrum of possibilities. We will look at some of these possibilities and how and why it might matter to gardeners and conservation minded individuals.

From Judy: My interest in this aspect of plant reproduction by seed started years ago. I purchased a Jacob’s Ladder, Polemonium reptans. It grew and bloomed beautifully. I wanted more, but didn’t have the cash.

Year after year I kept waiting for seedlings to appear. It never happened. So eventually I purchased a second plant. Since then I have had seedlings to share with many plant lovers.

Judy West is a retired elementary art teacher who was interested in plants from a young age. After purchasing a home her interest in plants and the natural world took off. Now to get her nature fix, she only needs to step out her door.

She still spends time creating interactive art to help children connect with nature, including this beautiful Venus flytrap peek-a-boo display.
