Here is the story of pollination, pollen germination on the flower's stigma, pollen tube elongation through the carpel, and double fertilization of the ovules deep within the ovaries.

i find this really creepy and much like i would expect a very bad acid trip to be!

thanks for the nightmares - i think the plants themselves explain it much nicer.

RoeperAPBiology2010 says "still trippy, but very cool and creative". Connor is finally speechless.

This video is wonderfully eye-catching and creative. I loved it and even tried out some of the poses while capturing it with a digital camera. It is not all that hard to do. Thanks for sharing this with us! The title is appropriate and the scene on double fertilization makes me feel wonderully liberated as a woman and mother of two budding daughters.
