      I live there. those orchids are incredibly gorgeous and delicate and the insects pollinate them. Our native bees are solitary and live in the ground, so we need insects. We will have to fight hard in the future to save these.

  • @waterguy956

    The pollinia on orchids is normally found under the anther cap on the end of the column. The stigmatic surface is just forward of this. The beetle will pick up the pollinia backing out of the flower. Next flower slams him up where the pollinia are picked up by the sticky stigmatic area. He will then pick up the pollinia from this flower on his way out. This method gives the plant a better chance of cross pollination.

    One of the showiest orchids where I live, Calypso bulbosa, plays a dirty trick on bees. It's showy and fragrant, so they think there's a BIG nectar reward inside. But there's none. Bees eventually learn to ignore them, but they bloom in the spring, so there's always plenty of newly-hatched naive bees for them to fool.

    Not familiar with Austrailian orchids, but if they're like most others those 2 yellow bulges aren't the pollina. The pollina should be hidden under a hood at the tip of the column . The beetle get stuck because the pollinia attached to his back touched the spot that accepts them, which is usually sticky to them.

  • @nickrust1595
    @nickrust1595 5 років тому +1

    For the Caladenia orchids: I believe the pollinae are actually at the very tip of the column directly in front of the stigma. The yellow coloration at the base of the column is likely just there to entice insects further down into the flower to position them better for a successful pollination. Not sure if it's a coloration thing, or a nectar gland, but that's my guess as to what that is.

    Have you seen what the wood of sheoaks looks like? It has incredible bright red and tan striped grain, some of the most amazing wood out there. Not easy to sustainably source unfortunately.
    Thanks for the entertaining and informative video, as always.

    Jesus Christ, this is the most interesting botany lesson I've ever seen. What the actual fuck is UA-cam recommending to me?

    I thoroughly enjoy your shows, please don't change anything. And are you perhaps a philosopher too. Keep up the great work!
