Field Notes

Description:

A Orchid that "throws" the Androecium, like a form that the Pollinator take it to another flower.

Habitat:

This plant belongs to a vase of my grandfather

Notes:

You can see that is the Androecium by the presence of Anthera (the two "yellow balls") and Fillet (the "stalk" that join the Anthera).
