showing pollinia removed from column, ie, flower has been visited by a Bombus (bumblebee) sp, more specifically, a newly emerged post winter queen bee. This does not necessarily mean that the flower has been pollinated, only that the pollinia has been removed and may pollinate another calypso flower if visited by the queen responsible for the removal.
