St. Lucia weather in September and October is the worst part of the annual hurricane season. The number of rain days each month varies as well from a low of 12 in April to a high of at least 20 days from July through November.he average low temperatures hover around the mid-70s. But it's the rainfall that determines the popularity of each month with visitors. St. Lucia weather in February through May is part of a regular dry season.
Mid to late summer offers a short window for the plants in this alpine community to flower. With luck, you might see the tiny, sticky fly-eating leaves of the sundew (Drosera rotundifolia) and catch the flowers of the small cranberry (Vaccinium oxycoccus), creeping snow-berry (Gaultheria hispidula), and others.he sliding fen is a peatland perched on alpine bedrock at the top of bare slabs or cliffs. Sliding fens presumably become supersaturated from major rain events and slide off the cliff before peat build-up resumes (Sperduto and Cogbill 1999).
The spore capsule, often with a supporting stalk (called a seta), is the sporophyte and this grows from the gametophyte stage. You will commonly see the statement that a moss gametophyte consists of leaves on stems. That statement is so close to the whole truth that it's no surprise it's so commonly used.When a moss spore germinates it first develops a protonema.This is a filamentous to sheet-like growth form, often with a strong resemblance to an algal colony or a fern prothallus. In due course one or more stems grow from the protonema and leaves develop on the stems, giving rise to one or more leafy-stemmed plants.n almost all moss species the capsule has a well-defined mouth at the end opposite the stalk or the point attaching the capsule to a stem. When there is a mouth, the spores are released through that mouth. There is a very small number of mouth-less mosses-such as species of the genus Andreaea.
