The sepals of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana - commonly known as the mouse-eared cress - are characterised by an outer layer of cells that vary widely in their sizes, and are distributed in equally varied patterns and proportions.
By Danielle: My mom has one birds of paradise plant and she was told there is a male and female, is that true? If so how can you tell the difference between them?
Answer By The Flower Expert: The single birds of paradise plant has both the male nd female parts of the plant. Each Birds of Paradise flower is made up of three upright orange sepals and three highly modified vivid blue petals. Two of the petals are joined together in a structure resembling an arrowhead with the third petal forming a nectary at the base of the flower. Each bract contains 2 or more protruding Birds of Paradise florets of bright yellow or orange elongated petals and a bright blue tongue. The female part of the Birds of Paradise flower is the long extension of the blue tongue, which is extended well away from the stamens. Pollination in Birds of Paradise:When a pollinator, usually a sunbird, lands on the arrowhead in search of nectar, the anthers are levered clear of the Birds of Paradise flower and deposit pollen on the breast of the bird. When the bird flies to another plant, this pollen is transferred to the stigma of the new flower.Then the resulting fruit is a leathery capsule containing numerous small seeds, each with an orange aril (an outgrowth from the seed similar to the red sheath around yew seeds) and an oil body, possibly to attract birds.
By Sandy: Where can I buy Paintbrush Flower?
Answer By The Flower Expert: Paintbrush flowers belong to the Snapdragon or Figwort Family and are known as hemiparasites or a root parasite. Paintbrush flowers depend upon another plant for not only nutrients, but water, too, and they are annuals. When you sow seeds--they need a 'host' plant to survive, or they won't survive. It is seen that if you buy Paintbrush seeds there is very little chance of their surviving alone as they are semiparasites.
