EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of comfrey petals, captured through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Comfrey, scientifically known as Symphytum officinale, is a perennial herb with striking pink or cream bell-shaped flowers and large prickly leaves. While it grows wild in North America, it is also cultivated in various countries for its alleged medicinal properties. Traditionally, comfrey has been revered for its potential healing abilities. Its leaves and roots are believed to possess therapeutic qualities that can aid in treating fever, inflammation, wounds, and even broken bones. However, caution must be exercised when consuming comfrey orally due to the presence of pyrrolizidine alkaloids which can cause liver damage. The magnification level of x100 at 6x7cm size allows us to appreciate the delicate details present on each petal. This image not only highlights the botanical aspects of this flowering plant but also emphasizes its significance within herbal medicine practices. As we admire this mesmerizing photograph from Science Photo Library's collection, let us marvel at nature's wonders while acknowledging the historical importance and potential dangers associated with plants like comfrey.
