I found this neat drawing of the anatomy of a Byblis liniflora flower on a site called Florence Grovida Gardening and it reminded me of my recent post about pollinating Byblis flowers with a tuning fork. The way the stamens can drop pollen right onto the pistil is pretty crazy. Since the flowers open and close depending on available sunlight, it would seem that Byblis liniflora flowers will have no trouble self-pollinating regularly.
