This is a Protea species
So, do you know what kind of pollinator is playing the game of pollen carryover in this Protea species? Could you guess? If you look closely, you might find help…
Answer will appear in comments in about ten days… Stay and play! :-)
Trichostetha fascicularis?
That’s an excellent choice. But that’s not the good pollinator… :-) Trichostetha visits several Protea species, it’s not pollinating this one.
Look at the flower, it’s just hanging on the ground. That would indicate creepy pollinators (of course, an unexpected kind :).
Okay, time to let out an answer.
This is Protea repens, and it is pollinated by mice.
[…] Just another pollination game. […]
