GEORGE: I'm not sure if this video is rellevant to the discussion here,
it's an example of how something completely new can evolve:-http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-12615888-Research in Oxford has shown that the trumpet of the Daffodil
is a newly evolved flower part - neither petals nor stamen.-Thank you for this, George. Unfortunately, my computer won't show it unless I download some new software, and when I tried to do so, it warned me that my anti-virus software might be disabled, the Earth might turn a somersault, and the solar system might collapse. I suspect, from David's response, that the daffodil's trumpet won't summmon up a final judgement on this issue, but I wonder what you yourself think.
