Carnivorous Plants - Cephalotus follicularis

Cephalotus follicularis is one of many carnivorous plants native to Australia. This video showcases how the plant is pollinated by ants. All footage of the ant is the same ant throughout the video. I found the ant running around the flower stalks when I was about to hand-pollinate the flowers myself. Ants are common prey with Cephaltous in the wild, so it's not at all unusual for it to be common pollinators.

I really hope all my cephs get a nice flower stalk next spring :) i have about 30 ceph plants in my greenhouse, but 20 of them are still tiny, so won't be expecting to much of those... The matures will get flowers i think, and maybe have some luck with the seeds :)

@qayrol80 You can get them via international shipping but it is costly and you have to get cite documents. Andreas Wistuba is a good international seller, he does the cites for free but he only sells helis and nepenthes.
