To answer the question about bloom times or other events varying a lot with no apparent connection, the connection is not time -- it is ORDER of events. Plants are said to bloom in the same order each year, even if the dates change. (This is not to say that a forsythia in an optimalexposure that blooms before other forsythias might not be ahead of another "earlier" plant in a northern exposure, e.g.) This probably correlates in many cases with growing degree days -- in fact, some are using phenology to predict insect activity. Here are some links for the people interested in more on phenology: http://www.usanpn.org/?q=species_search The US phenological network is tracking 250 species and their bloomdates -- you can participate if you want to. Here is a link to some order of bloom info sites for wildflowers (if you are a beekeeper, this could be interesting). http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/academic/agriculture/permaculture/phenology.html Here is a list of other phenological monitoring sites, including everything from hummingbirds to monarchs to foliage. http://www.usanpn.org/?q=links#phenology_networks Looks like Ohio State is doing a phenology garden network, and they talk about the links between phenological events and insect activity.
