"Gene flow at work."

Explanation: a wind-blown pollen grain moves alleles between plants (potentially between populations), which is the definition of gene flow (migration). It's not a mutation (that would be a change to DNA sequence) and the photo doesn't by itself show genetic drift (random changes in allele frequencies over time). Short alternatives: "Pollen-mediated gene flow" or "Sending genes on the wind."
