Very nice! Is this the male or female flowers? I'm having trouble determining if there are boy or girl parts on this one!
|
Steve, those are male flowers...
a quite general but easy rule (not always 100% accurate though, but applicable to all "hooded" Catasetum) is to look at the position of the petals.. Female planiceps: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3514/...411a659b83.jpg Male planiceps: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3499/...422d05794f.jpg then, of course more accurate, is to look at the "trigger hairs" in the male flowers, but absent in the female ones... |
Oh I see. I had trouble finding the trigger hairs in original pics, but now I see they are waaay in the back of the flower (in the 2nd pic). I'm also not familiar with the hooded Catasetums, so now I know what to look for (petals). Thanks!
