Hardy fuchsia: hummingbird
The hardy fuchsia is adapted for hummingbird pollination in a
variety of ways. The bird is drawn to its red sepals, and the
positioning of its pendulous flowers allows the bird, which can
consume more than its body weight in food each day, to hover easily
in place while drinking the flowers' ample nectar. Pollen rubs off
onto the bird's head as it feeds and is thereby transported from
flower to flower.
