Single delight- Moneses uniflora - a photo on Flickriver

            Moneses uniflora is a plant of moist coniferous forests across Eurasia and North America. It is the sole member of genus Moneses. The flower has a noticeable style, and a distinctive five-pronged stigma. The anthers have small apical pores requiring a special pollinator technique to release them.  Moneses uniflora reproduce through buzz pollination. In order to release the pollen, solitary bees are able to grab onto the flower and move their flight muscles rapidly, causing the flower and anthers to vibrate, dislodging pollen.  It is a nodding flower that is typically no more than 10cm (4 inch) tall and grows on the dark forest floor. I used an LED light to show the interesting floral structures but should have spent more time to get all structures into focus.
