reproductive system in the male honeysuckle vine :-)
I am re-doing image 52 in the "One of a kind " project. There!
Yes, reproductive structures. Reproduction, after all, is what flowers are mostly about. Whoops -- day lilies are often propagated by natural cloning -- bulbs, in other words. Day lilies are not actually lilies, botanists tell us, but they are beautiful. Each flower blooms for a single day.
Thank you for looking. Isn't God a great artist?
Trigger plants (Stylidium sp) use insects to help with pollination. As the insect settles in on the flower it triggers off a reproductive arm as such with pollen on the end quickly snapping on the unsuspecting insect. This does no harm to the visitor but has left pollen on it's body for when it flies off to the next flower. The trigger winds back ready for the next visitor.
Males also assess their partner's reproductive value and adjust their own investment in the brood according to their partner's condition. Females that lay larger and brighter eggs are in better condition and have greater reproductive value. Therefore, males tend to display higher attentiveness and parental care to larger eggs, since those eggs were produced by a female with apparent good genetic quality. Smaller, duller eggs garnered less paternal care. Female foot color is also observed as an indication of perceived female condition. In one experiment, the color of eggs was muted by researchers, it was found that males were willing to exercise similar care for both large eggs and small eggs if his mate had brightly colored feet, whereas males paired with dull-footed females only incubated larger eggs. Researchers also found that males did not increase their care when females exhibited both bright feet and high-quality offspring.
Close-up of the reproductive organs of a Rhododendron flower. Shot in the Hamilton gardens. The stem in the center is called the carpel coming out of the green ovary which is surrounded by the stamen. The working distance was about 30cm to the head of the carpel. So, even at f/16 the DoF was still very shallow. Hence I took a stack of 59 images to cover DoF all the way to the bottom of the ovary. Converted from RAW to JPG using DxO PhotoLab 4. Stacked in Helicon.
A woman's reproductive rights are hers to decide, and hers alone.

Due to its disseminatory reproductive system, vitality, and climbing behavior, Clematis vitalba is an invasive plant in many places. Some new tree plantations can be suffocated by a thick layer of Clematis vitalba, if not checked.
In New Zealand it is declared an "unwanted organism" and is listed in the National Pest Plant Accord. It cannot be sold, propagated or distributed. It is a potential threat to native plants since it grows vigorously and forms a canopy which smothers all other plants and has no natural controlling organisms in New Zealand.

It's hard for me to get a good photo of Hibiscus (common and scientific name) because the flowers are large, and it's difficult to focus on the whole flower. This photo doesn't do that. But it does show the pollen-catching stigmas, held up high on their styles, and a few dozen pollen-producing anthers, each on its filament. (There are petals, too . . .)
Thanks for looking! Isn't God a great artist?
I love this image. It shows the anthers on the lily.
The male portion resides in the top 7 cm of the flower whereas the female reproductive organ sits in the lower 1.8 cm of the flower ;-)

Gomphrena globosa, commonly known as globe amaranth, Ping Pong Lavender, bachelor's button, makhmali, and vadamalli, is an edible plant from the family Amaranthaceae. The round-shaped flower inflorescences are a visually dominant feature and cultivars have been propagated to exhibit shades of magenta, purple, red, orange, white, pink, and lilac. Within the flowerheads, the true flowers are small and inconspicuous. G. globosa is native to Central America including regions of Brazil, Panama, and Guatemala, but is now grown globally. As a tropical annual plant, G. globosa blooms continuously throughout summer and early fall. It is very heat tolerant and fairly drought resistant, but grows best in full sun and regular moisture. The plant fixes carbon through the C4 pathway. At maturity, the flowerheads are approximately 4 cm long and the plant grows up to 60cm in height. G. globosa is an outcrossing species that is pollinated by butterflies, bees, and other insects. Floral volatiles likely play a significant role in the reproductive success of the plant by promoting the attraction of pollinators. 20616
Anna’s hummer visits the Harvard century plant (agave) in my front yard that recently entered its reproductive stage and sprouted a “quoite” stalk as its last hurrah! There are also many, many bees on this plant, but I have read that bats that pollinate this plant at night when the flowers are open.
You, dear Flickr-Friend! don't know who's visiting this Orange Jewel-Weed, Impatiens capensis. You might easily learn though that 'capensis' is a misnomer by the first descriptor of our Plant, Nicolaas Meerburgh (1734-1814). Meerburgh, a mere under-gardener of the Leiden Hortus but a great illustrator, thought he was describing (1775) a plant from South Africa, and hence the established specific name: "from the Cape of Good Hope". In fact, bright Impatiens hails from North America.
Okay! and who then is its visitor? I saw her fly into that Jewel of a Flower, and take it to be a Garden Bumblebee, Bombus hortorum. Quite a challenge for her to wriggle all the way into the flower for a taste of nectar; meanwhile she's unwittingly also pollinating for Future Flowers; see how her back is being used as a reproductive aid!
" Papilio demoleus is a common and widespread swallowtail butterfly...The butterfly is also known as the Common Lime Butterfly, Lemon Butterfly, Lime Swallowtail, Small Citrus Butterfly, Chequered Swallowtail, Dingy Swallowtail and Citrus Swallowtail...These common names refer to their host plants, which are usually citrus species such as the cultivated lime. Unlike most swallowtail butterflies, it does not have a prominent tail...The butterfly is a pest and invasive species from Asia and Australia which has spread to the Caribbean and Central America..."

Each lily flower has six stamens - the male reproductive organs. These stamens are made up of thin stalks, often referred to as filaments, having anthers or organs that bear the pollens at their tips. The color of lily pollens differs from light yellow to deep brown. The difference depends on the species and hybrids of lilies. At the center of the flower, there is a pistil - the female reproductive parts. The pistils are made up of the ovary at their base - the place where seeds are formed, an elongated style and a stigma having three lobes at the tips - the place where the pollens get fixed.

Fuji X-Pro3 plus Samyang telephoto lens wide-open. Botanists would be able to explain why pollinators are attracted to this flower (colour, scent and things like that). They can not explain why we are attracted to this flower, us, unconnected to the plant in any practical biological sense. What we see and appreciate is its "beauty". This is something we import into the equation. We are quite choosy when it comes to sticking the label of beauty to things. The external reproductive organs of humans and mammals we would hardly call beautiful. The Romans used the term "pudendum" for this (which, semantically, is related to the notion of shame). We don't have this issue with flowers. Their reproduction process is not regarded as shameful. Makes you think.
Since mushrooms are just reproductive structures, you wonder what they are the reproductive structures of. Microscopic spores fall from the pores and gills of mushrooms such as those pictured above. If environmental conditions are just right, fungal hyphae (HI-fee, the plural of "hypha") emerge from the spore -- like the sprout emerging from a seed. These hyphae form a webby mass of typically white, interwoven, threadlike filaments known collectively as mycelium. Each individual, threadlike filament of the mycelium is known as a hypha (HI-fah), plural hyphae (HI-fee). This mycelium composed of hyphae does the organism's day-to-day work of breaking down and acquiring the fungus's food from humus in the soil, or decaying wood or some other substance. In other words, though usually mycelium isn't even noticed by most people, it's actually the fungus organism's body. Then when conditions are right the mycelium mass forms a budlike structure someplace and from this emerges the mushroom. The mycelium does the fungus's work, and the mushrooms enable to fungus organism to reproduce by producing spores.
La pollinisation est au cœur de la nature et de ses processus de reproduction.
Pollination is at the heart of nature and its reproductive processes.
Like all honey bee species, the western honey bee is eusocial, creating colonies with a single fertile female (or "queen"), many normally non-reproductive females or "workers", and a small proportion of fertile males or "drones". Individual colonies can house tens of thousands of bees. Colony activities are organized by complex communication between individuals, through both pheromones and the dance language.
The western honey bee was one of the first domesticated insects, and it is the primary species maintained by beekeepers to this day for both its honey production and pollination activities. With human assistance, the western honey bee now occupies every continent except Antarctica. Because of its wide cultivation, this species is the single most important pollinator for agriculture globally[citation needed]. Western honey bees are threatened by pests and diseases, especially the Varroa mite and colony collapse disorder. As of 2019, the western honey bee is listed as Data Deficient on the IUCN Red List, as numerous studies indicate that the species has undergone significant declines in Europe; however, it is not clear if they refer to population reduction of wild or managed colonies. Further research is required to enable differentiation between wild and non-wild colonies in order to determine the conservation status of the species in the wild.
Western honey bees are an important model organism in scientific studies, particularly in the fields of social evolution, learning, and memory; they are also used in studies of pesticide toxicity, to assess non-target impacts of commercial pesticides.
De honingbij komt van oorsprong voor in Afrika en Europa. In Europa loopt het natuurlijke verspreidingsgebied tot ongeveer 60 graden NB. Door toedoen van de mens komt de honingbij inmiddels wereldwijd voor. Honingbijen worden door de mensen die zich met de studie van de wilde bijenfauna bezig houden niet in kaart gebracht Een verspreidingskaartje van de honingbij ontbreekt dan ook. Ongetwijfeld is de honingbij in elk 5 x 5 km-hok aan te treffen. De honingbij is de hoogst ontwikkelde sociale soort onder de bijen. Een volk bestaat uit een koningin met een groep werksters. In bepaalde tijden van het jaar ontwikkelen zich tevens jonge koninginnen en mannetjes of darren. In de vrije natuur wordt vooral in holten genesteld (o.a. holle bomen). De soort bouwt uit was verschillende verticaal naast elkaar hangende raten per nest. De koningin kan enkele jaren oud worden. De werksters vliegen op allerlei planten (uitgesproken polylectisch) en communiceren met elkaar door middel van een speciale bijentaal. De vliegtijd van de honingbij in ons land ligt tussen februari en november met pieken in april - mei en augustus wanneer de volken hun grootste omvang (tot 60.000 exemplaren) bereiken. Afgelopen jaar is er ook in ons land enige discussie ontstaan over de concurrentie van honingbijen met andere bloembezoekers.

Lichen reproductive organs - apothecia- are round and occur in great profusion on the body of this lovely yellow lichen. While not a regular pattern per se the profusion of roundness is the pattern of nature seen in many lichens. This one was on a fallen branch at Cardinia Reservoir on our extremely wet weekend. Possibly a Xanthoria species. Sometimes these fruiting bodies are called fairy cups.
Lichens, or lichenised fungi, are organisms made up of a fungus and one or more algae or a cyanobacterium in a symbiotic relationship. Australia's has lots of algae and I once worked, many years ago, with one of Australia's well known lichenologists!
Dice la Guía de Dijkstra.
"La identidad de esta especie no se ha clarificado hasta fechas recientes, antes se denominaba incorrectamente Sympetrum decoloratum.
Hasta 2006 sus localizaciones eran escasas. Se extendian desde el Oriente Medio, pasando por el norte de Africa hasta la costa mediterránea de España.
Su hábitat son arroyos, acequias, estanques, embalses y depresiones pantanosas en zonas secas. Durante el verano se aleja del agua y aparece en otoño que es cuando tiene actividad reproductora".

Says the Dijkstra Guide.
"The identity of this species has not been clarified until recently, before it was incorrectly named Sympetrum decoloratum.
Until 2006 their locations were scarce. They extended from the Middle East, through North Africa to the Mediterranean coast of Spain.
Its habitat is streams, ditches, ponds, reservoirs and swampy depressions in dry areas. During the summer it moves away from the water and appears in autumn, which is when it has reproductive activity ".

The reproductive organs of a white lily, the anthers at the end of the stamens look as though they are ready to burst? LOL
Just starting to release the pollen.
Photographers are the keepers of reality, this flower will only ever be seen like this again, because I 'eternalised' it!
It's gone now, but not completely... the photo remains!
Hope you enjoy viewing as much as I did making the images!
Thank you, M, (*_*)

Stanhopea tigrina - wonderful South American native orchids which are very incredible on different levels. The flower itself is striking in contrasts and size - usually over 20cms across. It central parts are very thick and heavily constructed and form a pollination trap for a large euglossine bee. The bee enters through the side between the column and the very fleshy labellum to take the nectar and then is forced to leave through the front of the flower taking the pollen off the end of the reproductive column on it's back to the next flower. You easily know when Stanhopea tigrina flowers have opened because you can smell the flowers from right down the yard. It is a very rich ( overpowering) chocolately vanilla smell
Amazingly, the flower spikes pierce downwards and for that reason are nearly always grown in wire baskets with bark holding the potting mix. The flowers pierce straight through the paperbark. It is difficult to get a get shot of these flowers on the plant for that reason, so I cut them off and tied them to a camellia plant to see what I could do.
There around 90 different species of Stanhopeas which range in colour from white to green, pure yellow to dark like this one and many with a gorgeous and bold spotting pattern. Stanhopea tigrina is often confused with the species nigroviolacea ... a problem which was resolved by a good friend from the Manly Warringah Orchid Society, Barney Greer, who became an Australian and World authority on identifying the species within the genera. nigroviolacea is somewhat duller in colour and there are apparently differences in the floral parts of the flower.
This plant was given to me by another friend, who had been given by the widow of a WWII veteran and it had originally been brought back to Australia from Hawaii, where it is not native.
