Description
This delicate bloom of the Giant leaves of the Fire Flag or more commonly known as the Alligator Flag is only one-half inches in length. This plant has an interesting pollination process. The pollen is deposited on the style and when an insect touches it, it instantly propulses it to an erect postition. The insect then scrapes on the stigma and also recieves new pollen.
