Purple Blossoms Dropping Daily: What's the point?

[GammaGlobulin]

There is a plant in my yard.

 

 

Almost every day, without fail, this plant produces purple blossoms which quickly fall, seemingly without any discoverable purpose..

 

So I ask you, what is the point of this plant?

 

Do you know?

 

Everyday, this plant expends energy to produce beautiful blossoms, a production which has no apparent meaning or advantage for the plant.

 

Yet, this plant is a hardy plant.

Many wicked vines have tried to kill this plant, and, still, it survives.

 

Why would such a plant, as hardy as this variety seems to be, produce such beautiful purple blossoms for no reason, blossoms which apparently do nothing other than blossom, and then fall to Earth, and then wilt in the early evening?

 

Everyday, just like clockwork, there are blossoms for me to see….even without bees..

 

Every evening, just before sunset, the blossoms fall to Earth.

 

There is no explanation….unless….

 

You might have one.

 

The question is….

 

Why?

There isn't any point to it ,that's the life cycle  of that plant, you think too much .....

If you say so.

 

However, nothing happens in Nature without some advantage.

 

Unless, perhaps, just a random mutation that quickly dies out.

 

So then, would you like to re-think this?

 

Regards

If you are Buddhist, then you not only see the truth in this, but you accept it as the nature of reality.
There is no "why?"  There only "is."

Its a plant. It does what it evolved to do.

I wonder the same of you. Most every day you drop some turd blossoms here, and I see no  reason why. No rhyme of reason for 90% of your threads.  Oh by the way that flower is edible and will turn anything you put it in to that purple color. When my kids were little they had a successful lemonade stand selling lemonade that was purple with the addition of a few ounces of purple water extracted from the blossoms.

If the plant has been successfully pollinated it will save energy by jettisoning the now redundant blossoms and focus its energy reserves on fruit/seed growth.
