There are many specimens of orchids that mimic certain animals, insects or everyday objects ...
There are bumblebee orchids, monkeys, hedgehogs, ballerinas ...
She has a wide palette and the phenomenal ability of the orchid to take unusual shapes.
Sometimes we can not say why she does it - why can she look like any other and not a flower corolla?
It is clear that if the orchid takes the form of a bee, it is because she wants to deceive another insect and attract it.
The resemblance is so great that some bees, flies and bumble bees take the flower for a representative of their own species and want to copulate with it.
But why should a flower look like a monkey's head, an angry person, a graceful ballerina or something else?
This may be especially to ask about the power of nature when it comes to its smallest creations, to surprise us or just to charm us.
This book will introduce you to one of the most fascinating phenomena of the plant kingdom.
