Is the rose peony an insect-borne flower?

Because insect-borne flowers depend on insects (bees, butterflies, moths, flies, ants, etc. ) Passing pollen, the corolla is generally large and remarkable, brightly colored, with aroma or nectary; Pollen grains are large, sticky and easy to attach to insects; Pollen is nutritious and can be used as food for insects.

Extended data

Insect-borne flowers often have bright and beautiful perianth, fragrance or other smells, or nectaries. Pollen grains are usually large and have protrusions or patterns on the surface. When anthers crack, pollen is not easy to be blown away by the wind, and often sticks to insects, which is easy to adhere. The amount of pollen is generally less than that of wind-blown flowers.

Another feature that adapts to insect pollination is that the flowers that bloom during the day are mostly bright colors such as red and yellow, and the flowers that bloom at night are mostly white, so as to identify insects that are active at night.

Insect-borne flowers are mostly bisexual flowers. Under the condition of a certain number of insects, bisexual flowers have more pollination opportunities 1 times than unisexual flowers. There are many insects that can pollinate, such as bees, butterflies, moths, ants and flies. The structure of insect-borne flowers usually adapts to the characteristics of specific pollinators, such as sage flowers. But wind-borne pollination and insect-borne pollination are not absolute.
