Moreover the flowers are hermaphrodite. About the change of the color, I have read somewhere that many flowers change their color after pollination to signal the pollinator, "here is no work to do, save ur energy." I observe it on Geflecktes Lungenkraut (Pulmonaria officinalis) every year. If it is the same for Rangunschlinger, i don't know. Regards Nalini
