Gladiolus | Close-ups session
 |
|---|
Greetings, WOX friends, today I'm back with a beautiful flower, or rather a flower spike, of which I captured several progressive close-ups until I reached the stamens and pistils. I hope you enjoy them.
The 5 selected close-ups
Photo N° 1 The stamens and pistil
 |
|---|
| In the area where I live, the rainy season has begun. This event is a welcome development for the plants, which have been waiting for the beginning of a phase of renewal, growth, and reproduction after several months of drought. In this photo, you can see the stamens and pistil of the gladiolus flower up close. |
Photo N° 2
 |
|---|
| The stamens are a very deep violet color, almost purple, while the pistil is more yellowish white. The stamens produce pollen, which will stick to pollinating insects for transport to the pistils. |
Photo N° 3
 |
|---|
| The flower is irregular; I could count seven petals, one very large and main one surrounded by six others. Their colors range from yellow toward the center, with shades of orange toward red. It's a truly beautiful flower. |
Photo N° 4
 |
|---|
| The plant produced several spikes, each with flowers that will open over the course of almost a few days, showing different sizes and degrees of opening.I can count seven flowers on this one. |
Photo N° 5
 |
|---|
| This is a gladiolus plant. I don't know the species, but Google Lens helped me recognize the genus name. I notice that the leaves of this particular one are more elongated, like a sword, compared to the wider, more oblong leaves shown by Google Lens. |
