challenge of the day...
Hello,
My baby sister asked me why do orchids flower for up to 3 months but poppy flower for about one day. Sadly, I couldn't find the answer. Help with the answer would make her smarter and me happier... Thanks in advance. |

That will give you a clue why an orchid flower needs to last longer in order for a pollinator to find it. Erez wrote in message om...
