Beware, bees! This wildflower will trap you in a floral escape room.

Beware, bees! This wildflower will trap you in a floral escape room.

Get the Popular Science daily newsletter💡 Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. What’s fragrant, floral, and perfectly devious? If you’re confused, imagine what it must be like for the bees ensnared in the colorful clutches of a pink lady’s slipper (Cypripedium acaule). This large species of wildflower has ingenious pollinating tactics that were highlighted by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service on April Fools’ day. But this is no joke. Pink lady’s slippers are members of the roughly 28,000 member orchid family, and their bulbous flowers are generally pink. They grow throughout a significant part of the eastern U.S., usually blooming between May and July. Like many flowers, they draw bees in with their color and fragrance. But what happens next is more dramatic than one might expect. The bee enters the slipper-shaped flower pouch expecting to find nectar, but there is none.  “Instead, the bee is now inside a floral escape room with no exits… except one very specific exit,” the federal agency noted. “The entrance closes behind it, …

Floral boots are the whimsy spring trend we didn’t know we needed

Floral boots are the whimsy spring trend we didn’t know we needed

Florals for spring – you know the drill. Blossom pink hues, petal silhouettes and foliage detailing bloom right on cue each year when the sun decides to rear its head and thaw the muted palettes of winter.  Yet, one corner of the fashion industry that has remained fairly untouched by the feminine theme is footwear, more specifically, boots.  Floral boots boast a history as vibrant as their aesthetic. In the 18th century, during the frivolous Rococo period, silk jacquard options were favoured by the aristocratic and affluent in France, who adopted the dainty Pompadour heel – an homage to Madame de Pompadour, mistress of King Louis XV. © ValentinoValentino Resort SS26 These curved kicks paved the way for similarly intricate styles worn during the Victorian era, which took place a century or so later. Victorian designers favoured light, ornate aesthetics reminiscent of the Rococo period, yet replaced dated buckle adornments with adjustable lace-up detailing to provide a more functional fit. Either way, the shoes produced from both movements looked like they could have been painted …

Smoke a joint and get deep with flowers at this guided floral design workshop in DTLA

Smoke a joint and get deep with flowers at this guided floral design workshop in DTLA

Abriana Vicioso is the host of the Flower Hour, which takes place monthly. (Jennifer McCord / For The Times) Each flower carries a personal history. For Abriana Vicioso, the calla lily was her parents’ wedding flower — a symbol of her mother’s beauty. “She had this big, beautiful white calla lily in her hair,” Vicioso says. “I love my parents. They’re the reason I’m here. I’ll never forget where I came from.” The Flower Hour begins with Vicioso announcing, with a warm smile: “Today is about touching grass.” The florist-by-trade gestures behind her to hundreds of flowers contained in buckets — blue thistles, ivory anemones and calla lilies painted silver — all twisted and unfurling into the air. “Tonight is going to be so sweet and intimate,” Vicioso says, eyeing the beautiful chaos at her feet. A grin buds across her face. Moments before the workshop, participants sit at candlelit tables exchanging horoscopes and comparing their favorite flowers. A mention of the illustrious bird-of-paradise flower elicits coos and awe from the women. Izamar Vazquez, who …
