Exotic species of flowers 'thirst' The blood moon is like a wolf

Scientists have just published the results of research on the only flower in the world that loves the Blood Moon.

Recently, the results of a 4-year study on the Ephedra foeminea flower have been published widely by experts from Stockholm University. Accordingly, the scientists were surprised to realize: this is the only lunar 'thirsty' plant in the world.

Specifically, Ephedra foeminea is a plant that lives and grows according to the Moon's operating cycle . Each year, this flower changes the pollination schedule based on the round-defect process of ' Sister Hang ' and only hatches when the moon is full. For this reason, experts call them ' wolf flowers'.

In the same period, Ephedra foeminea released special water droplets, which smelled of insects like moths to pollinate . As a result, their seeds will be dispersed far away and rapidly multiply and flourish.

Drops of water attract insects to pollination that are released on the full moon

In fact, this particular conclusion was discovered by chance during the research process. Accordingly, for four years, scientists found Ephedra foeminea secreted water at the same time . However, in 2013, this phenomenon suddenly did not happen.

That made the experts feel very curious. They checked the data, other scientific parameters and discovered, the Ephedra foeminea did not bloom because there was no full moon at that time.

Sharing more about the study, experts say, the group is still continuing to understand why Ephedra foeminea can recognize the Moon cycle. The most likely hypothesis of this time is that they are based on the amount of moon light reflecting the Sun on Earth at different times to determine when the moon is full.
