Let's have a look at another one of our 𝘉𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴! Orchids are the masters of deception when it comes to seduction. Orchids have developed various strategies to trick pollinators into transferring pollen from one flower to another. They use shape, colour and fragrance in different ways to fool their pollinators. Often, they look like a source of food but actually contain no nectar. ⁠
⁠
This Grammatophyllum speciosum, also called giant orchid, is the biggest orchid in the world. The flowers can grow up to 10cm wide. 😍⁠

The 𝘗𝘰𝘭𝘺𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘮 𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘶𝘮 or Common Solomon's Seal is currently in flowering in the Snippendaal garden in the Hortus. This plant is native to Europe so you can also spot it during a walk in a forest or dune area! ⁠
⁠
The plant is named after the Biblical King Solomon. The Common Solomon Seal has a sturdy rootstock, from which new stems sprout every year. After dying off, star-shaped scars remain at the place where the stems were attached. The scar resembles a six-pointed star, the symbol on the seal ring of King Solomon.⁠
