How do Plumeria flowers attract pollinators?
Plumeria flowers attract pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, through their fragrance and nectar reward. The sweet, fruity fragrance acts as a powerful attractant, drawing pollinators from a distance. Once pollinators land on the flower to access nectar, they inadvertently transfer pollen between the stamens and pistil, facilitating fertilization. The corona, a tube-like structure in the flower’s center, serves as a landing platform for pollinators, allowing them to access the nectar conveniently. This process helps ensure successful pollination and subsequent seed production.
