brush flowers
Brush flowers refer to different types of plants and flowers that are distinguished by the particular shape of their flowers and whose shape attracts mainly larger insects and butterflies for pollination. Brush flowers, also known in some regions of Germany as brush flowers, are characterized by the elongated form of their stamens, which grow up like little brushes from the center of the flower. The name is established both for flowers with only one inflorescence as in specimens with many single flowers. In addition to the elongated stamens, the pistil of the flower are longer than many other species, so that they stand outright from the calyx or in the absence of a calyx, at least a greater distance from the stalk of the plant possess. The distinctive shape not only attracts many insects through its distinctive shape, but also the transfer of the pollen through the brushes in a practical and simple way. Well-known brush flowers, which thrive in Germany and Central Europe, are the ribwort plantain, the wicker and the meadowknight.
