Did You Know... baobab tree blossoms live for just one night? The large creamy flowers open at sunset and their strong musky odour attracts fruit bats and hosts of insects that seek out the sweet nectar and collect and distribute pollen as they move from flower to flower. The life of the flower is extremely short and it drops to the ground within a few hours.
