night betrayal
"Plumeria flowers are most fragrant at night in order to lure sphinx moths to pollinate them. The flowers have no nectar, and simply dupe their pollinators. The moths inadvertently pollinate them by transferring pollen from flower to flower in their fruitless search for nectar."
"Hey Champa, you have three qualities. Color, beauty, and fragrance, but the only thing you lack is that honey-bees never sit on you."

Toller Titel. Ein so geheimnisvolles Blütenmotiv habe ich selten gesehen.auch in der Natur ist scheinbar nicht alles nur einem Gesetz unterworfen :)
