Flower Gallery / Orchid.  Orchids are extremely versatile in reproduction. They have adapted themselves to use a variety of pollinators, with or without their consent. Many insects are attracted to them either by smell or mimicry, or in some instances even a little stealth. This a lady slipper orchid. The slipper orchid lures the insect with a promise of a drink from its pouch, or attracts it by scent or sight to the edge of the pouch which is very slippery and polished, before it knows it the hapless pollinator finds itself stuck at the bottom, and is either too wet to fly, or the shape of the pouch precludes it, and there is only one way out which the insect will eventually find, as it does escape it will have to crawl through a small doorway which is so tight that the pollinator must pressed firmly against the pollen sag as it escapes. The process is repeated once more at another flower, this time depositing the pollens as it collects a fresh one, without even knowing.
