RE: Our perennial cactus is blooming! :) / Unser winterharter Kaktus blüht! :)

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

in my opinion, not all types of insects are good for pollinating flowers, in my place even a lot of insects that eat flowers, and the result is less beautiful flowers. sorry if i discuss that is not in your article, but it's seen in the picture you upload

Sort:  

Why do you think these beetles would harm the cactus flower? Did you observe them eating from it? :)

Actually, most insects which are damaging plants aren't within the flowers, but instead of that stick their proboscis into leaves or stems to suck some juice.

Most dangerous for flowering plants are we humans, who often prefer single-crop farming (for example for earning as much as possible crop or palm oil), where we try to protect our plants with very poisonous pesticides which are killing bees and bumblebees. These insects are then are missing when it comes to the pollination of flowers.
Many house owners also prefer 'sterile', boring gardens with no or only very few blooming plants.

So do you think the insect is good for flower growth? .

are all kinds of insects good for flowers?

I do not do research, but I like flowers, and I often see nice flowers, but many insects will disturb the beautiful flowers.

but I am very grateful, you have shared my knowledge with me.

Flowers need insects, for example bees, bumblebees, some flies and beetles for their pollination.

Other insects are also damaging plants. However, these insects are sitting on the stem, the leaves or also the roots (not in the flowers) most of the time ...

if you think that's the way it is, that means most people are wrong to notice their flowers, especially women, they often spray their flowers, to be free of pests. I often see my mother doing it that way, yes, the reason is that the flowers look beautiful and, not eaten by the naughty pests. and to keep it fertile.

thanks for your opinion, today I can add my knowledge about the importance of pests to pollinate the flowers.

can i make a post from this friend's article?

I still can't agree that you call bees and bumblebees "pests". Without these kind of insects we simply wouldn't be able to grow fruit-bearing trees!

Read - for example - here or here.

In parts of China humans have to pollinate flowers manually because of a lack of bees (as a consequence of all our poisonous insecticides)!

If you make a post about it, I wonder if you really can describe my words in the exact same way I mean them. I think you should first seek various articles about bees, bumblebees, flies and beetles as pollinators of our flowers to get some broader knowledge concerning that topic.

yes, your opinion is correct, yesterday I have read many articles, even I also read the book about flower growth. and I found out the truth.

this is my view, about bees, beetles and the like about flowers. hope you read it
