An Magairlín Beachach

Cheapfadh duine go raibh beach ina luí ar imeall amuigh gach bláth den phlanda seo. Cur i gcéill é seo a bhfuil sé d’aidhm aige beach fíor a mhealladh le dul ag cúpláil leis an mbeach bréige agus an phailin a ghreamaíonn ar a ceann a aistriú go stiogma an chéad mhagairlín eile a thugann sé cuairt air.



Bee Orchid


Each flower of this plant seems to have a bee nesting on its outer rim. The purpose
is to lure a real bee into mating with the false one, so that pollen that attaches to the bee’s head may be transferred to the stigma of the next orchid it visits.
