Sex in Flowers.

All Towering plants have what is
called pollen, which is composed Of
minute particles generated in the flow
er, and which has definite sexuality.
The male pollen seeks that union
which will make for reproduction, and
1t has been said POLITICALLY that desire
in the flowers is as intense as in any
other form of life. Only the flowers
could tell this. and the flowers don't
speak our language, though we poor
humans have artificially and empiri.
