Subject: Trout lily pollen colour

I am a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Ottawa (Canada), and am curious 
about the functional significance (if any) of the yellow-to-red pollen colour 
polymorphism that occurs in American trout lily (Erythronium americanum).  

As a first step, I’d like to document pollen colour frequencies across the 
species range.  If you are out admiring the spring ephemerals of northeastern 
North America this year, please consider taking a closer look at the trout 
lilies, and submitting your observations to: troutlilysurvey.wordpress.com 
<http://troutlilysurvey.wordpress.com/>

Many thanks in advance for your help. Please share this message with others who 
may be interested.

Sincerely,
