Cadmium Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Dave, That is a very interesting set. The UVIVF is very different and colorful. Link to comment
DaveO Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 Thanks, the Fabaceae are proving to be very interesting. I can see a humungous matrix coming out of this which will probably make very pretty wallpaper but nothing more 'deep and meaningful' but as the Aussie saying goes with respect to a particular lottery 'You have to be in it, to win it'.Note how I cleverly included the hockey stick shaped plant part down at bottom centre [only found after the event of course]Cheers,Dave Link to comment
Andrea B. Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I've always enjoyed the Fabaceae. I also find them interesting - and often very pretty.You might want to consider sometimes making a photo of the opened flower from the side to better show the flower's keel and/or stamens? It is wonderful to have a evolving survey of the Australian Fabaceae. Great work, Dave! Link to comment
