TABLE 2 Estimates of generalized linear models (GLM) and comparative generalized estimating equations (GEE) analyses on flowering peak date and duration. For GEE model, the degrees of freedom (dfP) were recalculated as part of the analysis.

FIGURE 1 Relationship between flowering peak date and duration. Regression line of annuals is shown. R²  =  0.109 for full sample, 0.829 for annuals, and 0.072 for perennials. Correlations are shown in Table 3.

TABLE 3 Bivariate correlation analysis on flowering peak date and duration. Pearson correlations were shown.
