Grow Carnivorous Plants!

Cephalotus follicularis is one of many carnivorous plants native to Australia. This video showcases how the plant is pollinated by ants. All footage of the ant is the same ant throughout the video. I found the ant running around the flower stalks when I was about to hand-pollinate the flowers myself. Ants are common prey with Cephaltous in the wild, so it’s not at all unusual for it to be common pollinators.
