Thrum or Pin flower?? Help!?
Pin and thrum flowers are differently shaped flowers of the same species. This is a mechanism for the prevention of self fertilization. "Pin" type flowers have the stigma raised above the anthers, whereas "thrum" flowers have the anthers higher than the stigma. All you have to do now is look at those two particular types of flowers and decide which one is which type.
Reply:What's a "thrum"? And I don't know what pin flowers are either. Clearly not botanical terms.
