Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Flower challenge OK I did not know what this is but thanks to Geographers I have now found out. It is a dog rose gall growing on a wild rose. One form of this is known as Robin's Pincushion. It is formed as a result of a gall wasp laying eggs in the rose tissue. As the eggs hatch, the affected part of the plant becomes enlarged, presumably in response to a chemical trigger released by the eggs/larvae to provide food for the growing larvae. If you were to cut open the gall you might find several chambers inside, each with its resident gall wasp larvae. |
