Saw these on campus the other day. I’ve forgotten what these are called, but I am always impressed with them.
They are part of a set of ornamental plants that in another, closely related, universe would (along with their neighbors) perhaps feature more on our dinner plates than in gardens, I fancy. I must try to find their name at some point.
But the point here is that I’ve never really studied their flowers before… They’re amazing and unexpected in form!
