This looks like a pile of funny looking peas but it's really a part of a flower.
|
Here is an even closer look at the same part. |
And it really is a... |
But not all petals look alike, like this royal red one. |
From a majestic Rose. |
This might look to some people like a fuzzy yellow bug. |
But it's a petal from a bright Primula. |
This fossil looking thing isn't even a petal. |
But it's a tiny bud form a Bay Laural plant. |
This looks like a monster form a bad horror movie. |
But it's only the tip of a blossoming Hibiscus flower. |
Now there are two monsters fighting? |
No, just a friendly looking Marigold. |
This is part of a stigma, the part of the flower thats hidden inside the petals. |
And another one just like it but with some "friends" on it. |
Both are part of a Arnica flower. |
These white round things look so delicate and fragile. |
They are a part of the Lilac flower. |
Now this is something we haven't seen before. |
It's a Pollen from a Coltsfoot. |
The Pollen is the dust flowers use to reproduce and it's created in the Stamen. |
This Stamen belongs to a Small Leaved Lime plant. |
This one is a real beauty, a white pearly waterfall. |
And yet it's just a humble looking Chamomile flower. |
We end with another white wonder, a flower within a flower. |
At an even closer look it becomes an inviting white blanket to snuggle in. |
All hidden inside the Valerian flower. |
