Rods are maximally sensitive to wavelengths near 500 nm, and play little, if any, role in colour vision. In brighter light, such as daylight, vision is photopic: light is detected by cone cells which are responsible for colour vision.
Only true pine cones take two years to mature. All other evergreen cones mature in the same year they are fertilized. In spring, pine buds begin to grow producing male cones in clusters at the base of new twigs. The female cones appear much later as the twigs grow.
