The December disaster comes without warning. However, the plants here have endured this calamity before. This tree has stored alcohol in its leaves to burn them quickly. If the leaves are kept for too long, it becomes dangerous. It tries to avoid death by burning the leaves quickly. As the fires become more frequent, smoke spreads through the ethylene gate. 

Upon encountering this smoke, the story blooms. After surviving death, the first thing it does is to bloom. 

Plants that cannot move rely on animals for reproduction. Something emerges from the ground. This insect is coming out for the first time in its life. The wasp has no wings and has not eaten anything. It seeks to alleviate its hunger and accomplishes one more important goal.

이안 볼은 가야 합니다. 여정은 만만치 않습니다. 밤 볼은 순찰 나온 불도깨비에게도 쉽게 당합니다. 배고픔에 1000조까지 만약 날개가 있었다면 피할 수 있었을지도 모릅니다. 그래서 한 볼은 지체 없이 목표를 향해 가야 합니다. 목표는 높이 20cm 가량의 풀 꼭대기까지 무사히 가는 것입니다. 도착하자마자 한 벌은 흙을 달며 놈을 가다듬습니다. 그리고 페루 문이 발생하죠. 지금은 이 말벌들의 짝짓기 철입니다. 날개 없는 암벌이 꼭대기에서 수법을 보면 수퍼는 안보를 안고 날아다니며 오른쪽으로 갑니다. 그리고 짝짓기를 하죠. 이 사랑의 장소에 수상한 꽃이 핍니다. 꽃의 키는 약 20cm로, 올라가던 플로피는 혼잎이 말기 없는 암벌과 모양과 크기가 비슷한 데다 입체적으로까지 합니다.

The reaction of the male to the flowers and pistils visible across from them is immediate. The petals do not open easily, and the male struggles to get out with the fake pollen. Moreover, the flowers emit a toxic scent. However, the intensity is ten times stronger, causing the males to become frantic. 

The males are desperate to mate, but the victor of the fights cannot mate. Instead, they have to struggle harder to escape the dazzling pollen. The pollen falls and the males become disoriented. They have experienced it once but cannot do so again. Eventually, the pollen is fertilized by other flowers. This place utilizes the sexual desire of bees for mating. The plant starts off green.

식물이 녹색인 이유는 배고픔을 해결하기 위해서입니다. 광합성을 이용해 에너지를 만들어내는 기관이 독특합니다. 배고픔을 이겨낸 식물은 이제 묵색이 아닌 키를 만들어야 합니다. 녹색의 숲에서는 생존을 위해서는 녹색이 아니어야 합니다. 꽃은 식물의 섬김 유혹의 기관입니다. 그래서 식물은 다양한 색깔과 모양의 꽃을 만듭니다. 꽃이 작다면, 꽃은 한 모양을 세웁니다. 이마저도 부족하다면, 식물은 가짜를 만들기도 합니다. 산수국의 바깥쪽은 쪼꼬미 암술과 수술이 없습니다. 눈에 띄는 역할만 하는 가짜 꽃이죠. 이 커다란 가짜 꽃잎 덕분에 벌들은 꽃을 쉽게 찾을 수 있습니다. 가짜 꽃잎의 역할은 이게 다가 아닙니다. 진짜 꽃들이 수정되면, 산수국은 가짜 꽃잎을 뒤집습니다. 이는 더 이상 자신에게 오지 말라는 뜻입니다.

Hydrangeas are plants that bloom together in various forms. The language of flowers has been altered, aiming to send bees to flowers that have not been modified. This flower ensures the successful mating of all its blooms until the very end. If the flower is hidden, it seeks help elsewhere. The flower is concealed by leaves, making it hard to see from the outside. Therefore, during the blooming season, the flower releases chemicals into the air. The leaves that cover the flower detect this scent and transform into white petals. However, the discolored leaves can no longer photosynthesize, which means they are sacrificing themselves. Nevertheless, the flower chooses to make this sacrifice, even if it means becoming hungry; it desires to be noticeable. The urge to succeed in mating is as strong in plants as it is in animals. Plant reproduction involves transferring pollen from the anther to the stigma, but plants cannot move on their own.

Although they are not visible, the existence of wind energy is undoubtedly present, and the coniferous trees that move with this energy are waiting for it. They release pollen into the wind to send it to the female flowers. However, they cannot just wait indefinitely, as they do not know when the wind will blow. Therefore, plants sometimes create their own wind to disperse their pollen. This action occurs within a hundredth of a second. To block the wind, plants can grow to great heights. The effort to harness the wind continues in unseen ways. A unique device with spores is involved in this process. The spores are attached to four strands called tans. Normally, the strands are curled up, but they change when they dry out. The strands unfold, increasing the distance between the spores, allowing for more effective wind dispersal.

Carbonated water not only acts as a barrier in the packaging but also plays the role of a pinwheel. The effort of hidden spores is made, but without wind, the spores cannot fly away. Nutrient-rich algae serve only as food for snails. You never know when you might see them, so friends look for more reliable and diligent workers. 

The origin of this plant is the highlands of South America. Tomatoes have been cultivated for food since the early 17th century. However, it was difficult to achieve artificial pollination because the pollen-bearing stamens were not visible. People discovered a new fact that piqued their interest. The flower produces pollen at approximately 350 vibrations. This frequency matches the frequency produced by bees when they flap their wings, allowing the tomato to only provide pollen to bees, which is equivalent to sperm.

It was to entrust this precious thing to a reliable worker as well.

The Resilient Cycle of Life After Disaster

The December disaster strikes unexpectedly, but the plants have adapted to survive.

They store alcohol in their leaves to burn them quickly, avoiding death.

The emergence of a wingless wasp from the ground marks a crucial moment, as it seeks food and mates, leading to the blooming of a suspicious flower that plays a significant role in the wasp's reproduction.

The male's reaction to the flowers is frantic due to the toxic scent and dazzling pollen.

The struggle for mating leads to disorientation and ultimately, the pollen is fertilized by other flowers.

The plant uses various colors and shapes of flowers, along with fake ones, to attract bees and ensure successful reproduction.

The Unique Reproductive Strategy of Hydrangeas

Hydrangeas bloom together and use chemical signals to attract attention, with their leaves transforming into white petals to become more noticeable.

The flower sacrifices its leaves' ability to photosynthesize in order to succeed in mating.

Plants also harness wind energy and create their own wind to disperse pollen, using unique spores and strands to increase their effectiveness in reproduction.

The Unique Role of Carbonated Water and Tomato Plant's Pollination

Carbonated water serves as a barrier in packaging and also acts like a pinwheel, while nutrient-rich algae provide food for snails.

The tomato plant, originating from the highlands of South America, has been cultivated since the 17th century, but struggled with artificial pollination due to hidden stamens.

The flower's pollen production at 350 vibrations coincides with the bees' wing flapping, allowing the tomato to effectively provide pollen to the bees.

The Importance of Trust in Delegating Responsibilities

Entrusting valuable tasks to a reliable worker is crucial.

Trust plays a key role in ensuring the successful completion of important responsibilities.

A dependable worker can provide peace of mind and contribute to the overall success of a project.
