As the flowers are facing down, most insects looking for nectar cannot get a hold.

Only a few butterfly types – here mostly hawk moths – manage to collect nectar with their long proboscis while hovering in midair.

In order to attract nocturnal insects, the flowers exude their tempting smell mostly in the evening.

Da die Blüten nach unten hängen, finden die meisten Nektar suchenden Insekten keinen Halt.

Nur einigen Schmetterlingsarten – hier vor allem den Schwärmern – gelingt es, im Flug stehend mit dem langen Rüssel an den Nektar heranzukommen.

Um Nachtschwärmer anzulocken, verströmen die Blüten vor allem am Abend einen betörenden Duft.
