Why does the wind..
Blow pollen onto the lanai table, but not off of it?
Does pollen have tentacles? |
LOL! I'm on Evans Prairie, and the lanai is covered with pollen. Wiped it all down two days ago, and it is covered again.

POLLEN IS EVIL. THAT'S WHY IT WON'T BLOW AWAY. :shocked:
Actually, as you surmise, some pollen is "sticky" and once it lands on a surface it tends to remain. In our area one of the really troublesome pollens, from an allergy standpoint, is oak pollen. As you will see from the microscopic photo below, oak pollen has "stickers" which make it stick where it lands. One of the really troublesome effects of this is that it sticks in the sinuses of allergic people. That is why it can be very helpful for people who have this allergy to rinse out their sinuses with a Neti Pot, available in local drug stores. |
I use to love my former students reaction when they learned they were breathing in the male reproductive cells of plants.

If I remember correctly, male pollens have 2 tentacles.

Where I live the wind blows pollen, mites and other such microscopic creatures in the opposite direction. Where I live the wind blows pollen, mites and other such microscopic creatures in the opposite direction. where I live the wind blows pollen.........................................

Yes, pollen does have little tentacles. I know because I once got some in my eye and had to. See my eye doctor. He showed it to me under a microscope. Wicked stuff!
