Your videos of native plants are most appreciated, but most Hibbertia species have porose-porate anther openings so beetles and flies can't get to the anthers. They are scavengers or pollen thieves. From what I've seen of UV photos of the flowers the petals stay yellow but the yellow anthers look dark due to the presence of flavanoids we can't see. Check the most recent paper by Dixon and Lunau in Annals of Botany.
Hi Peter, thank you for your valuable feedback, I am always open to receiving updated scientific knowledge and am happy to share my references used to create my videos. Regarding the beetles and flies pollinating the flowers of Hibbertia, this reference came from page 2 of the publication of Seed Notes for Western Australia no. 17 Hibbertia, available here: www.dpaw.wa.gov.au/images/documents/about/science/pubs/seednotes/sn17_hibbertia.pdf It's very interesting, what you say about the anthers, perhaps this information came to light after the above reference was published, do you have a reference I could check out? Regarding the colours of the petals and flowers through bee vision, this came from Australian Plants, Autumn 2021 Vol 31 No 246, where Jim Barrow cites Dyer, AG, Boyd-Gerny S, Mcloughlin, S, Rosa, MGP, Simonov, V, Wong BBM (2012) Parallel evolution of angiosperm colour signals: Common evolutionary pressures linked to hymenopteran vision, Proceedings of the Royal Society B:Biologival Sciences 279(1742):3606-3615 I will have a look at Dixon's and Lunau's paper, thank you for mentioning it.
