Bristles and leg baskets are ways that bees transfer pollen between different species of flowering plants. Pollen clings to bristled bodies and falls into the leg-attached baskets of bees while the insects in question are nectaring. They drop on other parts of that plant and of others that bees visit during their daily forays and over the ground from the flower back to the hive or nest.

Cornus Florida is the flowering dogwood.
If they are different species they can't breed or they produce a sterile hybrid. If they are distant relatives in the same species they produce a fertile hybrid.
No, dogs cannot get lice from humans. Lice are species-specific parasites, meaning they are adapted to live on a specific type of host and cannot easily transfer between different species.
No, dogs cannot get lice from cats. Lice are species-specific parasites, meaning they are adapted to live on a specific type of host and cannot easily transfer between different species.
Yes, gene transfer between different species can occur through mechanisms such as horizontal gene transfer, particularly in bacteria, where genes can be exchanged via transformation, transduction, or conjugation. In plants, gene transfer can happen naturally through hybridization or can be facilitated by human intervention, such as genetic engineering. Additionally, some viruses can carry genes from one species to another, contributing to genetic diversity. However, such transfers are typically more complex and less common in multicellular organisms compared to microorganisms.
Yes it is a flowering plant. It is listed as invasive species.
The common name "larkspur" is shared between an annual and a perennial species of flowering plants.
