Compliments of the season hivers. Please permit me to share with you an awesome plant relationship captured on my outing today.
Our elementary biology talked about symbiotic nutrition in those days, though this mode of symbiosis is of commensalism. I am terming it to be a kind of relationship today as demonstrated by the pictures below.
The coconut tree is supporting the algae plant. It is only Algae plant that benefits from this relationship. The algae plant feeds from the coconut tree and as well being supported by the coconut tree while coconut tree does not have anything to benefit from the Algae plant yet the two are alive and thriving.
This second picture depicts the same relationship as that of Algae and coconut tree but differs a little bit. In this second relationship, it is only the climber plant that is alive. The tree is a dead tree but providing support for climber to grow on. The climber plant did not feed from the dead tree in any way.
Hivers, my analysis and take away from this is that this type of relationships exist in humans, though neither the algae plant nor coconut tree are harmful to each other, likewise the dead tree and the climber plant. Provided these relationships are not harmful, let them continue and thrive.
Thanks hivers and Shalom!
