Then I decided to play around with my macro lens.

Check out the dots of light or are they cell structures?

The petal mid line

The mid line appears to have cellular structures laying down. I think all the "stars" in the rest of the petal is light reflecting off of the hair appendages.

The ovary

This has to be some kind of cellular structure

dorsal base. looking through the camera lens the white and orange structures are three dimensional, like fibers standing up

Very nice!! I would like to know if your o.z. plants had roots when it arrived? Or bugs in the media? 2 different orders of mine from them had that
 
Flowers are incredible and the photography even better! Thank you for sharing.
 
Great purchases, so dark dela vini and I am very jealous on the horizontal petal lowii.... I really want one of these :drool:
