[Pollinator] Plants Behaving Badly - Orchid Pollination

[Peter Bernhardt]

:

Last night's documentary on orchid pollination, narrated by David
Attenborough, is on Youtube.  Here is the link.  Our book was not cited but
note that Attenborough was trained to say, pollinaria. I wonder how much
footage was shot at Orchis Banks near Darwin's house as Darwin's studies
are dramatized in this video?

The lady's slipper in the video is a Cypripedium but the species is
unidentified.  I think this is the Eurasian C. calceolus, not our C.
parviflorum.  The Bernhardt/Meier Lab at Saint Louis U., has sent our  ms.
on bee-pollination of two variants of C. parviflorum in Missouri (4-year
study) to the Botanical Journal of the Linnaean Society.
