Under a moderately high magnification of 888x, this scanning electron micrograph (SEM) revealed some of the morphologic ultrastructural surface details of one of the very small flower buds clustered in the center of a white dogwood flower, Cornus florida. Due to the extremely small size of the centrally located clustered flowers, the larger colored "bracts" which are actually modified leaves that protect the flowers themselves, are also mistaken for flower petals.Created: 2006

Under a high magnification of 6486x, this 2006 scanning electron micrograph (SEM) depicted details of the morphologic surface characteristics of a "dandelion clock", from a Common Dandelion, Taraxacum officinale plant. The "clock" is the filamentous "puffball" of seeds arranged so as to be easily dispersed by the wind, or the breath of a curious child.Highlighted in this field of view was the remnant of a seed attachment, visible as a small cavitated nub. It is from these nub-like points that the "parachute"-equipped seeds detach, and are blown away, sometime over a distance of miles. Note that this is the second in a series of PHIL images, 8791-8796, in which the magnification is increased, thereby, providing greater and greater morphologic detail of the point of the developing seed attachment.Created: 2006
