花の上部に飛び出た雌しべの頂部が、鳥の頭のように見えます。通常は雄しべは見えませんが、蝶が蜜を吸いにやってくると、2本の雄しべが出現し花粉を蝶の背中に着けます。雄しべを隠すのは、自家受粉を防ぐためと言われています。
In my view, the top of the pistil that protrudes from the top of the flower looks like a bird's head. The stamens are usually not visible, but when a butterfly arrives to suck nectar, two stamens emerge and deposit pollen on the butterfly's back. The stamens' hiding is believed to prevent self-pollination.
