In the wild the jade vine (Strongylodon macrobotrys) is pollinated by bats. The bat pokes its tongue into the flower to collect nectar, causing the flower to fold and drop pollen on the bat's head. In this video, you can see how horticulturists in the Princess of Wales Conservatory mimic this effect by extracting the pollen and spreading it on to other flowers using a paintbrush! #jadevine #bats #pollination #kewgardens #london #springatkew
