The answer has to do with the different pollination strategies used by the two plants. Investigate how the two flower types differ and the mechanism behind their pollination. 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...

What type of flowers are orchids verses poppies.
