Fun facts about Aristolochia Salvadorensis!
- The flower looks like a helmet and is a kind of purple colour.
- It looks like it has eyes in the middle.
- But by far the most important thing about it is how it smells.
- Even though it doesn’t smell very good, the smell is good at getting pollinating insects to come to the area.
- Pollination is the process of moving pollen grains from one flower to another.
- This is needed for new seeds and flowers to grow.
- Because the insides of the petals are sticky, they can hold the insect while the pollen is transferred to its body.
- The flower then either does nothing or lets the insect go on its own.
