“One concern with premature flowers is pollination. While honeybees were in evidence at the New York Botanical Garden, there were fewer at the United States Botanic Garden. When plants get in this off-kilter blooming, sometimes it doesnt coincide with the life cycle of the pollinator, Ms. Shimizu said. If pollination doesnt occur, then we dont get the fruit production. …If this becomes the new normal, then we have to change the way we think about the plants we use and how we protect them.
