Large flowers can be short‐lived: Insights from a high Andean cactus
Abstract Long‐lived and large flowers signify high floral maintenance costs. Species of arid/semiarid climates with large flowers are expected to have short flower life spans and pollination‐induced flower longevity in order to curb high floral water and other maintenance costs. We explored the cont...
