~ Painted Bowl Pollinator ~

The tulip bowl offers a warm shelter so the insect's flight muscles do not cool off.

Color can do several things. It can offer high contrast markers to guide pollinators to the nectaries or it can differentiate the flower from the background foliage to signal mature flowers with nectar or pollen. Tulips have a delicate, sweet scent attractive to bees and syrphid flies. yet it is easy to land in the open bowl shape.
