Bees on a white hibiscus | World of tiny animals |
7 months ago

August and white hibiscus develop large, trumpet-shaped flowers with five or more petals. Hibiscus blossoms open wide, inviting pollinators from bees to hummingbirds to reach in for a deep drink of nectar. As they do, they inevitably make contact with the flower's prominent stamen and pistil, aiding in the plant's pollination.
In order to ensure efficient pollination, a large staminal column (tube covered in stamens) rubs against the pollinators as they reach for nectar. The result? Pollinators, especially bees, are bathed in pollen!
Don't worry, the pollinators don't seem to mind. You'll see them happily buzzing around to more flowers.
