Unknown British BiologistAs we delight in the strange and exotic beauty of orchid flowers, it is salutary to reflect that we are, in essence, looking at their genitalia.
About This Quote
When you are looking at orchid flowers, it is important to keep in mind that the male parts are the same as the female parts. One of the most interesting facts about orchids is that they reproduce both sexually and asexually. Most plants either produce sexual offspring only or produce asexually. Asexual plants do not have any seeds or pollen to reproduce themselves.
Some plants can reproduce themselves through cloning. They grow a new plant that looks exactly like the original. These plants are known as "clones." Orchids are an example of plants that reproduce both sexually and asexually.
