Why do carnivorous plants usually have their flowers on a long stalk?

Carnivorous plants must produce seeds like most plants. However, pollinating insects would be eaten by the plants if their flowers were close to the ground. To prevent this, several carnivorous plants have low-growing traps and high flowers. Cephalotus, the Australian pitcher plant, is a wonderful example. Although its ground-hugging traps are only one or two inches tall, the flower stalks can be in excess of three feet!-Andrew D.

Why does a plant with a red flowers produce seeds that will grow into a plant with flowers of the same color?

The simple answer is genetic traits. For example, if a father of a child has black hair, but the mother has red hair, their would be about a 50/50 chance for the babies hair to be other. Of course, if the grandmother was blonde, their would be a small chance of the baby being blonde, too. But in plants, which have only one parent, their is a 100% chance of the flower growing pretty much the same height and color as the parent. Does that make sense?


Why would a plant pollinated by a bat not require colourful flowers?

Plants pollinated by bats do not need colorful flowers because bats are usually active during the night and rely on their sense of smell and echolocation to locate flowers. These plants often have dull-colored flowers, but produce strong scents and nectar to attract bats for pollination. The lack of color is compensated by other attractants that appeal to bats' sensory preferences.
