Stylidiaceae: Stylidium emarginatum

This is a series of two photos.

This photo shows the plant's labellum, a special part which helps to align the trigger to sit in its correct position.

The other photo shows the flower from the top with its trigger set waiting for an insect to land to feed on nectar. Once the insect lands in the correct place, the sensitive trigger flies over, hitting the insect on its back, depositing pollen.

I found another remnant of Edinburgh's once-pneumatically controlled traffic lights. Vehicles approaching a red traffic light would run over two rubber detector tubes embedded in the road, and a pulse of air would be sent to a pneumatic switch, which sent an electrical impulse to a control unit. In theory it timed the lights according to traffic density, but impatient drivers could 'encourage' the lights to change sooner by reversing back and forth over the tube to make the controller think the road was busier! They disappeared in quantity in the 1970s to make way for eddy current loops, which were in turn replaced with radar.

The last pair I found were in Viewforth but the one I photographed was removed when the road was resurfaced in 2016. I suspect this one has survived for so long on account of the road being paved with setts, and because South College Street was made into a de facto cul-de-sac when Potterrow was dualled and made contiguous with Lothian Street, as part of the University of Edinburgh's grandiose expansion and a vague remnant of Edinburgh's inner city motorway craziness.

An impromptu test shoot with my new CTR-301p remote triggers. Cheap & effective, these have had a 100% fire rate so far (indoors, no obstacles). $42 shipped from Hong Kong.

Strobist: one SB-600 camera right & one old cheap-o flash camera left. Both bare and pointed directly at subject at distances of ~4ft.

Should have called him Uncle Albert.

My eBay wireless flash triggers finally showed up. Can't wait to start playing with some lights and strobes. I have some lightstands and umbrellas on the way to me so hopefully soon I can start adding some pics on here with some flair.

Stylidium (also known as triggerplants or trigger plants) is a genus of dicotyledonous plants that belong to the family Stylidiaceae. The genus name Stylidium is derived from the Greek στύλος or stylos (column or pillar), which refers to the distinctive reproductive structure that its flowers possess.[1] Pollination is achieved through the use of the sensitive "trigger", which comprises the male and female reproductive organs fused into a floral column that snaps forward quickly in response to touch, harmlessly covering the insect in pollen. Most of the approximately 300 species are only found in Australia, making it the fifth largest genus in that country. Triggerplants are considered to be protocarnivorous or carnivorous because the glandular trichomes that cover the scape and flower can trap, kill, and digest small insects with protease enzymes produced by the plant.

Trigger was getting a bit above himself dancing among the people we let him think he was cool.

Not sure why but he had tears running down both eyes.
