Whiteweed flower pistils, SEM
Whiteweed flower floret pistils. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the pistils (red, the female reproductive organs) emerging from the true flowers or florets (yellow) of a whiteweed plant. The whiteweed plant (Ageratum sp.) is a member of the Asteraceae family of flowering plants, and so its flower head (capitula) consists of numerous florets. Ageratum flowers only have these tubular florets, and do not have the disc florets (petal- like structures) found in daisies, the best-known member of Asteraceae. Whiteweed flowers are widely grown as ornamental garden plants. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of whiteweed flower pistils. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we can see the vibrant red pistils, which are the female reproductive organs, emerging from the true flowers or florets that are colored yellow. The whiteweed plant, scientifically known as Ageratum sp. , belongs to the Asteraceae family of flowering plants and its flower head consists of numerous florets. What makes Ageratum unique is that its flowers only have these tubular florets and lack the disc florets commonly found in daisies, which are another well-known member of Asteraceae. Despite this distinction, whiteweed flowers are widely grown as ornamental garden plants due to their delicate charm. The magnification used for capturing this image remains unknown but it allows us to appreciate every detail of the structure and nature of these fascinating reproductive organs. This SEM image provides valuable insights into the anatomy and multiple parts present in carpels, florets, and pistils. Science Photo Library has once again captured a mesmerizing glimpse into nature's wonders with this photograph. It serves as a reminder that even at microscopic levels, there is an abundance of beauty waiting to be explored within our botanical world.
