看到纪录片中有很多植物和动物友好相处,互惠互利的内容,这篇就记录一下灯蝠花(Seven-hour flower)即使它只能存活7个小时,也依然想尽一切办法繁衍存活。那么我也可以熬过这段痛苦的时间吧。
This is seven-hour flower. This plant produces its flowers at night.
They open at about 6 o'clock, and each blossom only lasts that night. It opens for 7 hours and then it dies.
During that time, it provides food for one particular animal - a bat (科氏长舌幅). During the 7 hour flower's flowering season, underwood’s bat feeds almost exclusively on its nectar. It is the plant's primary pollinator.
