Pollen grains in many genera of Evening Primrose are loosely held together by viscin threads. These threads prevent most bees from collecting it: only bees (and moths) with specialized morphologies can effectively pollinate the flowers.
Nearly all bee taxa that visit Onagraceae family flowers are oligoleges (bees that exhibit a narrow, specialized preference for pollen sources, typically to a single genus of flowering plants). Oligolecty is especially prevalent in the bee families Andrenidae and Halictidae.
The flowers open at a weird time for bees, so the successful pollinators are usually "vespertine temporal specialists": evening foragers. Viscin threads are a strategy for portion control that helps the plant limit the amount of pollen removed during each pollinator visit in order to to optimize pollination.

(Yeah, I know I should have shown a bee in the photo!)
Other plants have only a single species to spread their seeds, too. The danger here is that sometimes that animal goes extinct, leaving the plant in a bit of a bind. Examples of this include the Osage Orange and the Avocado. In both cases, giant sloths were the now extinct partner (nothing else is big enough to swallow and pass an avocado pit!). I imagine that in most of these situations, the plant eventually goes extinct, too.
Fortunately for the Osage Orange and the Avocado, humans found them useful--the Orange for its perfect bow-making wood and later as a garden ornamental, and the avocado for food--and decided to start giving the plants a hand.
Still, it's a bit melancholy to think of these plants continuing to produce their gifts to a long-dead lover.
I managed to focus on the sun directly without much safety lenses, I clicked and voila! The result was stupendous!! The sun was diffused and I still don't know how it happnd! :)
The sun breaks through an opening in the canopy in the forest around Skookumchuck Narrows, BC, Canada.

The diffused side lighting creates a more natural look, but still has a somewhat undesirable look about it.
Through a single layer facial tissue. Significant reduction in light and the quality of the image. Gives it the feel of an old time photograph.
I built a flash diffuser out of two 24 ounce styro cups, lined with foil on one side to reflect the light outward.
I mounted them enwise onto a Vivitar 283 flash unit with a flash trigger sensor on it, and mounted a small Vivitar flash on camera facing straight up to trigger the remote unit without affecting the exposure.
These shots were taken in bright sunlight at f/11-f/16 @ 1/160sec.
