I wonder if this exists...

I was looking at the flowers of Gentianales, and started wondering..
I wonder if there is anybody who has sex with flowers XD
Cause these are like, conveniently shaped and all..
Im just sayin :P

Kidding. XD
The thought has occurred to me before, in several forms. Being a general science nerd, I've pondered how an animal species and a plant species could, um... help each other reproduce. Thing is, that left me with a question:
How would the anatomy of the flower work? I haven't quite come up with an answer yet.
and I guess it would look something like the flowers I mentioned above. All like, the perfect shape for some random person to stick their penis in. Or those little holes in random trees. Maybe some very tall mushrooms for girls XD
unfortunately and thankfully at the same time, this will most likely not happen through evolution XD

As Shakespeare pointed out, "There are stranger things in Heaven and Earth... than are dreamt of in your philosophy." And crazier shit than your wildest acid trip!
But i meant like, human sex and all :P
I did, however, think of a mechanism where the plant can make the animal do double duty:
1. Plant seduces male animals into pollinating the flowers.
2. When flowers go to fruit, they are irresistible to hungry females. The fruit is something fleshy with seeds that can survive passage through the animal's gut.
3. Put a factor in the fruit that a. puts the females into sexual receptivity, regardless of the stage of their fertility cycle/pregnancy; and b. at the same time makes them smell a bit like the flower.
4. By conditioning, males come to associate the flower's smell with sex, then start cavorting in the garden, and get pollen all over themselves...
Its be so cool, science-wise, if that happened..
But i havent dabbled in it too much, outside of very unlikely animal hybrids.
A plant-human love triangle! :o
Now THAT'D be an interesting read, fo' sho' XD
<laugh=mad scientist cackle> MUAHAHAHAHA! </laugh>
Ahem. At the microbe level.
Man, Plant, and Woman... believe it or not, this could work out quite peacefully. The male really gets the hard end of the bargain, but he may not care. Females get frisky when the plants bear fruit, and the flowers are useful when she's not interested?
"Mom, I'd like you to meet the third member of our household, Harry Stamens..."

And I think thats more interesting to me than I meant it to be XD
Science needs a FUND FOR THAT
Yes. There must always be funding FOR SCIENCE!
Sorry, that phrase gets me every time...
Another sci-fi reality! :o
FOR SCIENCE indeed :P

*"trips" and smudges berries on your shirt* upssss
btw, drew myself as a fat bunny XD couldnt resist haha
That sort of happens - I'm not REALLY a bunny, but so many people like me as a bunny, it's hard to escape. XD
Im a cat, too :P
But my character can also transform, so it doesnt bother me :P
besides, bunnies are something that I actually dont think ive really drawn before, soo c:
But anyway. Any discussion of plant sex bumps me into Pokemon territory again. Vine whip, anyone?
