About this episode
The episode discusses the intelligent design of the gilia plant and its adaptive strategies for attracting pollinators.
The gilia plant changes its flower color to match the seasonal presence of different pollinators, such as hummingbirds and moths. This adaptive strategy is a sophisticated example of intelligent botanical design. Image: A male Broad-tailed Hummingbird visits scarlet gilia, David W.
