Geranium flower
Geranium flower. Macrophotograph of the reproduc- tive parts of a Geranium clarkei flower. Several stamens are seen around the central carpel (dark, upper centre). Stamens are the male reproductive parts of a flower, and comprise a pollen-bearing anther held on a long filament (pale pink). Pollen grains (yellow) are the male sex cells of the flower. The carpel is the female part of the flow- er. Pollen from another flower of the same species is deposited on its tip (stigma) and travels down the long style to fertilise an ovary (not seen). These flowers are pollinated by insects, which carry pollen from flower to flower as they feed on nectar. Magnification: x3.3 at 35mm size

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 stunning macro photograph captures the intricate reproductive parts of a Geranium clarkei flower. The vibrant geranium petals serve as a backdrop to showcase the delicate stamens and carpel at the center of the bloom. The stamens, represented by several slender filaments in pale pink, bear anthers that hold pollen grains - the male sex cells of the flower. Meanwhile, the dark central carpel represents the female part of this beautiful blossom. The image highlights nature's remarkable process of reproduction as pollen from another flower is deposited on the stigma, located at the tip of the carpel. From there, it travels down a long style to fertilize an unseen ovary within this geranium. These particular flowers rely on insects for pollination; as they feed on nectar, they inadvertently carry pollen from one flower to another. This symbiotic relationship ensures successful reproduction for these geraniums. Captured with magnification at 3.3 times its original size and presented in exquisite detail, this photograph showcases not only botanical beauty but also serves as a visual testament to nature's complex mechanisms. It invites us to marvel at how plants have evolved sophisticated methods for ensuring their survival through reproduction.
