Pollination mechanism of Saussurea involucrata

Saussurea involucrata, a fleshy plant, is usually pollinated and seeded only after flowering. Generally, those who have been cultured for more than 2 years will bloom only after writing, and pollination is possible at this time

The flowers of Saussurea involucrata are inverted bell shaped. They are generally not fully open when flowering. The higher one in the middle of the flower is the pistil, and the yellow one is the stamen. The best time for pollination is when the pistil is exposed
