hellebore

i find the sexual organs of plants much more fascinating than those of humans.

(hellebore, supermarket, don't know which cultivar -- but i love the colours.)

They are gorgeous colours.

Wonder what they're doing genetically to get their petals to be little nectaries like that. Judging by the prevalence of doubling, it's easily broken. Hmm, and it's in the Ranunculaceae so might be close enough to Aquilegia and Thalictrum to share some genomic tools...

Fascinating they may be but imo they lack on stimulation rate... Image
Maybe, if there was some hot play with seeds fertilizing said organs I'd reconsider!

Wow. And writhing.

(Are the color channels squashed around, or is there just that much ambient green?)
