The power of flower

As we do not think of it, we do love flowers for its colors and smell and the fruits it does deliver.
But what we forget is actually that flora and trees are very complicated lifeforms.

First of all, they live all their lifes up side down, so they are able to multiply. Second, they make their genitalials so beautiful and tasty that other creatures do sniff it, tickle it, lick it, eat it or just find them beautiful. That is what is a flower: A hemophrodite product with male and female genitalials in it, so they can produce offspring, by seducing other creatures to use the semen and liquids coming free from it as food, like nectar or pollen, so honey can be made.

The genitalials are made so complicated, that some do mimic insects and others make in the view of an insect a perfect landing platform in several dimensions. Also humans are attracted by it and gather the flowers from the fields or even breed them for their beauty. Millions of flora genitalials are traded over the globe. Just because they look so beautiful or because they smell so nice.

What a power such creatures have and some produce more flowers with genitalials at the same time. It would be the same as a hermophrodite human standing on its head with the legs spread, so other creatures can smell it, lick it, make from the juices food and admire it. Only it is not the way we humans and other creatures do see them. The perfect mimicry, to hide your genitalials as hermophrodite creature into such a beautiful product as a flower. It will let you think twice now, when you next time push a flower under you nose to sniff it and admire it. :)
