Seed dispersal part four. I mentioned that ants distribute the seeds of Cyclamen hederifolium. I suppose I should include humans as a sub-section of seed dispersal by symbiosis! I sowed Honesty (Lunaria annua) in pots several weeks ago and the first seedlings have appeared already. 

 Left to its owns devices the seeds of L. annua would drop to the ground as the distinctive coin-like seed pods dry out and split open.

 

 The pots contain a mixture of both the purple and white flowered forms of Honesty. They self-seed round and about the garden but I generally grow a few in pots as well. Annuals and biennials make useful gap fillers.
