Female butternut squash flower
Female butternut squash flower (Cucurbita moschata). Plants in the Cucurbitaceae family are monoecious, meaning they have unisexual (imperfect) flowers of both sexes on the same plant. The stigmas (centre) recieve pollen

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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate beauty of a female butternut squash flower (Cucurbita moschata). Belonging to the Cucurbitaceae family, these plants possess a unique characteristic known as monoecious nature. This means that they bear unisexual (imperfect) flowers of both sexes on the same plant. In this image, we can observe the vibrant yellow petals surrounding the central part of the flower called stigmas. The stigmas play a crucial role in reproduction as they receive pollen from male flowers or other sources. This biological process is essential for successful pollination and subsequent fruit development. The intricate details captured by Science Photo Library highlight not only the fascinating botanical aspects but also shed light on concepts related to biology and horticulture. With its focus on sexuality, flowering parts, and reproductive functions, this photograph serves as an excellent educational resource for botany enthusiasts and researchers alike. It offers insight into how different plant species adapt their reproductive strategies to ensure survival and propagation. While admiring this stunning portrayal of nature's wonders, let us appreciate the complexity hidden within even seemingly simple elements such as a single flower petal or stigma. Through images like these, Science Photo Library continues to inspire curiosity about our natural world without mentioning any commercial use associated with it.
