Flowers


The pistil of this kind of flower are the yellowish and greenish little balls in the middle. They are shiny, so there is probably sticky liquid on it to stick on to pollen. The stamen is yellow, powdery and longer than the pistil. There are little bugs crawling under the stamen, so they are probably the one that pollenate this type of flower. These bugs may be attracted to the flower by fructose at the bottom of the stamen.


This type of flower has its pistil in the middle. It has sticky liquid on it and already has yellow pollen stuck on it. Its stamens are placed around the pistil.They are whiteish, yellowish and powdery. The same small bugs crawls inside the flower, so they are probably attracted to the flower by fructose at the bottom of the stamens and pistil, and they pollenate the flower.


This type of flower has a sticky pistil in the middle. Its stamens are red and are placed around the pistil. It has shiny, sticky and sweet liquid stuck to the wall of the pedal, which are probably fructose. The fact that it has fructose shows that it probably needs to attract insects to pollenate.




This type of flower has a pistil with a sticky and white head in the middle and yellow powdery stamens around the pistil. Judging from the layer of shiny yellow pollen stuck to the petals, this type of flower probably has the wind as the pollinator.
