Pumpkin seedling, Cucurbita pepo
Pumpkin seedling. Macrophotograph of a pumpkin seedling, Cucurbita pepo, soon after germination. The seedling has unfurled its first leaves (at centre right and lower left). Another leaf is ready to unfurl between the first two leaves. The leaves grow against gravity or towards light and provide food for the plant using sunlight. The seed remains dormant until the right conditions trigger germination. For a photo of the seedling with another leaf developed see image B787/301

EDITORS COMMENTS
This macro photograph captures the delicate beauty of a pumpkin seedling, Cucurbita pepo, as it emerges from its dormant state. The image showcases the early stages of germination, with the seedling proudly displaying its first set of leaves at the center right and lower left. A third leaf is poised to unfurl between these two, showcasing nature's remarkable ability for growth and renewal. The leaves of this young plant grow against gravity or towards light, utilizing sunlight to produce food through photosynthesis. This process sustains the seedling and fuels its development into a mature pumpkin plant. The intricate details captured in this photo highlight the vibrant green hues and intricate veining that make up each leaf. Condensation droplets glisten on the surface of these tender leaves, adding an ethereal touch to this botanical portrait. These water droplets serve as a reminder of how crucial moisture is for successful germination and growth. This stunning print serves as a testament to both the resilience and fragility found within nature's reproductive cycles. It reminds us that even something as small as a pumpkin seed can hold immense potential for life when provided with optimal conditions.
