Flower pollination isn't always a passive process; many plants have evolved fascinating mechanisms to ensure successful reproduction.
Certain species, such as Berberis and Mahonia, utilize touch-sensitive stamens, impacting pollinators with pollen for efficient transfer.
Catasetum orchids employ an even more remarkable tactic, forcefully ejecting pollen sacs to ensure pollen distribution.
The Australian triggerplant's rapid, 180-degree pollen-slinging mechanism demonstrates nature's creative solutions for cross-pollination.
