Definition
Any flower that is pollinated by flies rather than bees or other insects, typically having dark colors and a pungent or fleshy smell.
Etymology
Compound of 'fly' and 'flower' (from Old English 'flōr'). The term emerged in botanical literature in the 19th century to classify flowering plants based on their primary pollinators. The concept developed as botanists recognized that plant adaptations matched specific insect types.
Kelly Says
Flyflowers have evolved to look and smell like rotting meat or feces to attract carrion flies—nature's cleverness in action! These dark-colored blooms with musty odors are actually thriving in wetlands and forests where they're perfectly adapted to their specific fly pollinators.
