Flowering Plant Pine Pines Chlorophyll Heterotroph Saprophyte
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

Nature's Sneaky Tricksters - Pinedrops - The Forest's Mysterious Moochers!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Bob Gibbons, we are introduced to the enchanting world of pinedrops. These mischievous little plants, known as saprophytes or myco-heterotrophs, have found a clever way to survive in the pine woodlands of Oregon. With no chlorophyll to produce their own food like regular plants, pinedrops have evolved into ultimate freeloaders. They rely on fungi for sustenance and steal nutrients from decaying matter in the forest floor. Talk about being resourceful! As we gaze at this stunning flowering plant captured by Gibbons' lens, it is hard not to be amazed by nature's ingenuity. Pinedrops stand tall amidst towering pine trees, showcasing their vibrant blooms as if saying, "Look at us! We're unique!". These cunning heterotrophs remind us that there is always more than meets the eye in our beloved forests. While they may not contribute through photosynthesis like other greenery around them, they play an essential role in maintaining ecosystem balance. So next time you find yourself wandering through Oregon's picturesque woodlands, keep an eye out for these sneaky tricksters. Pinedrops may not be your typical superheroes of the plant kingdom but rest assured; they are masters of survival and adaptability. Bob Gibbons' photograph serves as a gentle reminder that even within nature's most intricate tape
