My Parachute Plant, Ceropegia sandersoniae is blooming like crazy .. as some of you already know, I just love to cut flowers in half to see what's inside.
Inside a Parachute Plant Flower
Here is the inside of the parachute.
And the reproductive parts way down at the base of the flower. I did not see anything that remotely resembled pollen. I'm thinking perhaps the flower may not be mature.
This picture is of an immature flower cut in half .. the parachute hasn't "opened" yet.

This picture is of the structures on the inside of the chute. I've upped the contrast considerably for detail.
Anne,
I don't dissect them ...but I do like to get really close up shots !
Alsobia San Miguel, I just don't think I could bring myself to cut this jewel up ! LOL
That is pretty, but I'd love to see what is inside what looks like a tube in the middle!
