Orchids are, of course,
flowers, and flowers generally need pollinators
in order to reproduce. A seemingly offhand comment about the unknown nature
of the pollinator(s) for a species of orchid in Western Australia
has led Paul Hamilton to undertake a multi-year citizen-science project to
try to fill that hole. He came to Everything Open 2023 to
give a report on the progress of the search.
