- Synopsis
- A 1927 British 12-minute short black-and-white silent documentary film, directed and shot by F. Percy Smith, featuring the sexual elements of pollenation in Dandelion, Globe thistle, Daisy, Cornflower, Carline thistle and Everlastings.
Shows how the sexual elements of various pollen flowers operate, and how the petals ('The Advertisers') co-operate with the yellow pollen grains, or male fertilizing cells ('The Workers'), by attracting insects to carry the pollen to fertilize the female element of another plant. The flowers shown include the Dandelion, Globe Thistle, Daisy, Cornflower, Carline Thistle and Everlastings. The film concludes by showing how man's cultivation of petals must necessarily be at the expense of the seed-head.
