Aristolochia californica, Pipe vine. |
|
Aristolochia littoralis, Dutchman's pipe, calico flower, pelican
flower. Ornamental vine, native to Jamaica. The purple-mottled, foul-smelling flowers
exploit flies for pollination by deceptively attracting them to what appears to be a site
suitable for laying eggs (odor and color of rotting meat). The
cut-away view shows the trap, complete with hairs that point inward and
thus delay the exit of floral visitors. |
