Yeah pretty sure flowers would have already had to have been there to be blooming. Not a lot of birds migrating to Antarctica spreading seeds.
What about African swallows?
Well, I think in this instance, European swallows seen more likely given the distance, but either way, we'd probably need to consider them laden swallows for the purpose of our calculations...
That made me curious and it looks like yes, birds do migrate there: https://polar-latitudes.com/wildlife/migratory-birds/
