RE: The Cute Flower of A Parachute Plant

in #flower7 years ago

I believe it is pollinated by flies. Flies crawl into the flower and are caught by downward facing hairs that prevent it from leaving. The fly, in turn, gets covered with pollen as it struggles to escape. The flower then dies and the hairs are weakened and the fly escapes.

Sort:  

and the flower falls off
and the fly finally escapes
flies indeed Ceci
