From the botanical gardens in Göttingen. Lots more to come, I just didn't have the time to resize and upload the rest last night. This is one of my favourites despite it being past its prime.

Nice! :)

Aren't flowers weird? They often strike me as looking like alien, Lovecraftian life-forms! LOL

*nods* Especially the [whatever you call the bits the pollen are on and the female equivalents] up close.

Stamens? El would know!

Yes, I was fascinated by that David Attenburgh series a few years back, The Secret Life of Plants. Even though they're beautiful, they're also kind of horrible at the same time!

*looks it up* Yes, with "anthers" at the end. Definitely not part of my ready vocabulary. The female bits are called "ovary", interestingly enough.

Oh yes, plants can be evil. Just look at all the weeds in your garden. ;o)

I love irises - or should that be iris? Lovely pic!

Ah, is it an iris? I couldn't remember what it was.
Thanks!
