Apidae

Many of them are also really powerfully fragrant, often with spicy, sweet, citrusy, uh, or minty scents, uh, very, very different than what you would think of as a traditional flower smell.

And what makes the male Catasetum flower special too is that it has what are trigger hairs, and on the column of the male flower, where if they're touched while in nature by, uh, a Euglossine bee, shoots out its pollen like a little slingshot.

It's really cool.

If you never triggered one, do it.

Sometimes you might even think they come from a different plant.

While the female flower doesn't have the little slingshot trigger antennae, it does have the stigma, which is the female reproductive part of the flower that accepts the pollen.

So when a Euglossine bee in nature is calling, uh, carrying a pollinium visits a female flower, that's how the pollen gets deposited, and the Catasetum is able to make some of the biggest seed pods containing millions of seeds seen in the orchid world.

Finally, what determines a male or female Catasetum flower? It's usually hard to say.
