the flower of a male papaya plant
The last visit to our eldest daughter's house was greeted by a papaya plant flowering. I remember those plants grown as babies. All look very much indentical. Half way through to maturity, they start to show their true colour. At her garden, a plant shows this flowers, but the rest are showing their ability to produce flowers which end up as little fruits. We call papaya with fruits as females and the those as in the picture as males. Statistically there are more female papaya plants as compared to males. Our daughter has gone into details. She is now able to pick seeds that will end up as females and throw away the seeds of males. It lies in the colour. That's what she said....
I have come across a few plants
which show these dual sexes make-ups.
and males are no less beautiful. !!.....
