Reported in flower

Usually reported in flower late March to late April, middle week Apr 5–11.

From 970 records that show flowers. Not every photo of a plant in flower is marked as flowering, so this shows when people reported it in flower, not when it flowers.

Reported in fruit

Usually reported in fruit early April to mid-May, middle week Apr 19–25.

From 208 records that show fruit. Not every photo of a plant in fruit is marked as fruiting, so this shows when people reported it in fruit, not when it fruits.

What these results show

These results show when people recorded a species, not when or where it occurs. Missing weeks and low counts do not mean absence or scarcity, and counts are not abundance. Contributed records reflect where, when and what people chose to observe.
