- Association Flower size declined linearly as temperature rose from 9 to 31°C.
- Intervention effect Temperature before visible bud stage had little effect on final flower size.
- Observation All stages after visible bud were equally sensitive to increased temperature.
- Mechanism Part of the temperature effect on final flower size was attributable to flower development duration.
- Method / resource A model accurately predicted final flower size from mean temperature during development.
- Observation Flower development from visible bud was fastest at 25°C.
