Leafy greens
Plants from Missouri Botanical Garden (photos by LS).
That red thing is the cone of a cycad (kottepalm). Each little red square is a cone scale/bract and inside are either pollensacs or ovules that will become seeds after pollination.
uh oh...I see PATTERNS here.....

haha! Leafes are all about patterns PP, but we can "leave" it this time! Haha...
ReplyDeleteNice pictures LS, I like your macros. (and patterns!)
Patterns are never wrong. Right?
