Disgustingly Damp Flower

Rummaging for pollen as usual, you use the harvesting technique you learned from the bees. However, when you pull your hand away from the flower, you find that there is no pollen on your gloves. Looking inside the swirl of petals, despite it being a mature flower, you see that there is no pollen at all within it. Upon closer inspection you see that the flower is filled with a viscous liquid. Could the flower have done this? While unpleasant to touch, you carefully pluck the flower to show Declan.
