EDITORS COMMENTS
. Behold the mesmerizing beauty of the Himalayan Balsam, captured in this stunning studio shot by Heather Angel. This botanical marvel unveils its secrets through a delicate dissection of its flowers, showcasing both the male and female phases. In the upper realm, we witness the male phase with downward projecting stamens releasing pollen onto the backs of bumblebees and honey bees. A true spectacle to behold as nature orchestrates an enchanting ballet between plant and pollinator! Below, in all her glory, lies the female phase adorned with downward pointing stigma and ovary. Nectar-filled spurs beckon visitors from far and wide to partake in their sweet offerings. This cross-section masterpiece reveals not only the intricate anatomy of this flowering plant but also highlights its reproductive prowess. With each flower carefully designed for maximum efficiency, it is no wonder that this species has successfully invaded Western Europe and Great Britain. Let your imagination wander as you explore every detail within this print - from pistils to carpels, stigmas to anthers; it's a symphony of life unfolding before your eyes. So dive into this extraordinary world where exotics meet aliens, where reproduction takes center stage, and where even plain or black backgrounds cannot dim its vibrant allure. Nature's wonders are truly boundless!
