They're nature's brilliant specialisations, designed to attract very specific pollinators. Bee flowers are bright yellow or blue with landing platforms, bird flowers are tube-shaped and red, bat flowers are large and pale with strong scent, moth flowers open at night and are white, and fly flowers often mimic rotting flesh. But from my blind here in the Guntur woods, I'll tell you the real secret—the rule-breakers are the most fascinating. Just last week I spent three damp evenings waiting for a bat to visit a *Musseanda* only to capture a giant carpenter bee stealing the nectar instead! Nature loves a freeloader.
