Flowers Maximise: Bee and Stamens Organs

flowers maximise: More surprisingly, a recent study in plant signaling and behaviour suggests that individual plants can adjust the timing of these movements based on their previous experiences with insect pollinators they learn from the past, according to The Independent. Over the course of a flower's life, individual stamens swing one by one into the flower's centre. They gymnastically wave around their stamens organs used for fertilisation to maximise pollen distribution. When a bee rummages for nectar there, it triggers the next stamen to come sweeping in, ready for a new bee or the previous bee's return. The discovery joins others recently painting an ever-broader picture of what plants can sense, learn and do. In this way, the flowers maximise their chances of transferring pollen to many different flowers. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
