Coral gardening is one of the most widely used methods and involves three main steps: collection, nursery growth, and outplanting. Science shouldn’t have a never ending list of how fix avoidable man made muck ups.

Catasetum orchid:
When a pollinator, like a male euglossine bee, brushes against a sensitive trigger structure on the flower (an "antenna" or "trigger hair"), the flower responds by forcefully launching its pollinia. #flowers #science #nature 🍀🧪
