الشرح

Size, colour and scent are all signals aimed at animals that can carry pollen from one flower to the next, which is why such flowers stand out at a distance and smell strongly close up. Protection is a real job in a flower, but it belongs to the small green parts outside the petals that wrap the bud before it opens.
