Mitchella repens is cultivated for its ornamental red berries and shiny, bright green foliage. [16] It is grown as a creeping ground cover in shady locations. It is rarely propagated for garden use by way of seeds but cuttings are easy. [17]
Rafflesia (/ r ə ˈ f l iː z (i) ə,-ˈ f l iː ʒ (i) ə, r æ-/), [2] or stinking corpse lily, [3] is a genus of parasitic flowering plants in the family Rafflesiaceae. [4] The species have enormous flowers, the buds rising from the ground or directly from the lower stems of their host plants; one species has the largest flower in the world.
The stigmas or stamens are attached to a spiked disk inside the flower. A foul smell of rotting meat attracts flies and beetles. To pollinate successfully, the flies and/or beetles must visit both the male and female plants, in that order. The fruit produced are round berries filled with numerous minute seeds.
R. tricolor flowers in July. [5] It is hermaphrodite (has both male and female organs), [5] but is self-sterile (one plant will not fruit by itself). [4] It is insect-pollinated, [5] and the fruit ripens from mid-July to September. [4] The plant fruits only occasionally. [6] Many Rubus species rely on birds (and mammals) to eat the fruit, which ...
While many plants bloom annually, corpse flowers bloom unpredictably. They store energy in a stem called a corm, blooming only when they've stored enough energy.
The flower of this species is among the largest of any Rubus species. [7] [3] The plant produces edible composite fruit approximately 1 cm (1 ⁄ 2 in) in diameter, which ripen to a bright red in mid to late summer. Like raspberries, it is not a true berry, but instead an aggregate fruit of numerous drupelets around a central core.
The plants reach up to 4.5 m (15 ft) tall. Leaves are small and oval. The seven species have small white flowers which are 5-merous and many stamened. Fruit are either red, orange, or yellow pomes. [2] The flowers are produced during late spring and early summer; the fruit develops in late summer, and matures in late autumn. [citation needed]
The flowers are produced in early summer in dense terminal corymbs; each flower is 5–10 mm diameter, with five rounded white petals; they have a mild, hawthorn-like scent. The fruit is a small pome , 4–12 mm across, bright red and berry-like, produced large quantities, maturing in the fall and often persisting well into the winter.
