Passion Flower

---

A busy lizzie, is an example of a flower in the position to recover quickly, with the feet

Some of The Flowers again with remarkable speed after a serious accident, such as committed by the people.

scientists found that species, including orchids and Sweet Pea was able to realign in 10-48 hours after the injury

These plants are in turn able to rotate and reposition their stems, in order to ensure that they reproduce.

But also others, such as butter flowers fail to Bounce Back after a loss.

The remarkable ability of some of The Flowers , to quickly recover from serious injury, has been overlooked by science, say the authors of the new Work .

< p > clematis-flower, which does not recover quickly from injury,

researchers at the 23 native and cultivated plant species in the UK, Europe, Australia and North and South America .

they examined species that had suffered accidents and have also performed experiments, where The Flowers were tied, either 45 or 90 degrees from their normal orientation.

For many of The Flowers , their ability to reproduce depends on the careful alignment of their sexual organs, or of the stigma and nectar-tubes, for a visit of donors to help you, pollen seeds.

The Scientists found that, if this type were to be damaged, you could position it exactly to your sexual organs.

"The common spotted orchid, it has largely only by bending of the main stem," said Prof Scott Armbruster, University of Portsmouth, who led the research.

"It's pretty fast, within A Day or two, it has its main root is differently oriented, so that now all The Flowers in The Right position," he told Bbc News .

"The something more interesting, where every single flower is re-oriented on its own, from the sub-master, that is what is called the stalk in the connection of the flower to the main stem, and that is, bending or twisting. And this is what you see with aconitum. "

the fast recovery of species were bilaterally in the rule-symmetrical flowers, which is where The Left and right sides mirror each other. Examples of these types of flowers include Snapdragon, Orchid, and Sweet Pea .

A bilaterally symmetrical Orchid, The Flowers will be able to Bounce Back quickly from an injury

Other species, called a radially symmetric, such as sunflower, petunias, Buttercup and Wild Rose far less skills, in the back of the legs. Even if you lose your orientation, you are still able to reproduce itself.

"those who do it, are The Ones where it matters. And those who do not do so are The Ones where it really doesn't matter," said Prof Armbruster.

"radially-symmetrical flowers, such as clematis and had a nice, radially-symmetrical blossom. And the same with Passion Flower , and not to Bounce Back . We tether and you just stay there, or you change your position, but not in a way corrects your position. "
