the vegetative cycle but in flowering. This
shocks the plant into a last ditch effort to
receive pollen because it feels that it has
missed its chance to receive pollen already (in
the wild males release their pollen just around
the time that females begin to flower and
sometimes even before that).Figure 7.3 - This is what hermies look like.
Notice that both male pollen pods and female pistils
are present on the plant. Picture by Rasta Linus.
