dc.description.abstractIn common milkweed ( Asclepias syriaca ), flower nectar volumes, concentration and sugar production varied according to the age of the sampled blossoms. In individual blossoms, nectar production peaked daily at 0800 hr. Peak production during the life of the flower occurred on the second day of flowering, 50 h after anthesis, and nectar production ceased after 120 h. The amount and quality of nectar were affected by microclimatic conditions and varied between clones. However, the same secretory patterns were found in all flowers studied. This age dependent nectar secretion combined with the sequential mode of flowering found on a single stem, results in substantial reward for extended periods to nectar feeders.en_US
