The Mandrake Girl, which conjured up this image.
Of course most pollinators are recompensed for their services with food in the form of nectar, or sometimes the pollen itself. Other times flowers mimic the body form of pollinators, and trick them into pollination by physical contact when really the pollinator was looking for sex.
Tricky, tricky plants.
Happy Earth Day!

The shadows are super and the light too.
