Inside the wild arum

This is a close up of the hair at the base of the inflorescence of the wild arum. The tiny flowers are located below the hair and not visible. The hair traps the visiting insects, and forces them to rub against the flowers and to collect the pollen before escaping.

Fascinating. Thank you for the information. I didn’t know that.

It's like something from Day of the Triffids!

I learn so much more than photography from your posts.
P.S. You came up in conversation today when my golfing partner was drinking a root beer.
