Trigger plants are such fun. They have this hammer that is held down below the flower. When an insect feeds at the blossom the hammer releases and bangs the insect daubing pollen onto it.
The hammer then gradually draws down and rearms waiting to bang another insect. The hammer is really a column that is the male and female parts fused together. If you look carefully you can see these held below the blossoms. You can set them off with a piece of grass. It is fast.
