Project Black Box is a space to dive into the nitty-gritty, up-close, and personal botanical features. Because this is Watching Plant Sex In the Woods, there is a focus on the reproductive bits; but to be honest, who doesn’t want to see intimate photos of flowers? As you examine these photos, try and identify the evolutionary adaptations that are present. Some adaptations to consider are sexual-selection on flower parts and defensive/protective parts.
