enricosavazzi Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I lost the labels of this potted plant, which I received as a present. I have no idea about species and genus, so I cannot make a formal post.Converted Lumix G3 with CoastalOpt 60 mm Apo, PrimaLuceLab UV filter, Bowens Gemini 500 R with uncoated tube.Minor luminance and contrast adjustments in post-processing, no color remapping, no channel swapping. In the first picture, note the fully developed flower on the right, the flower bud on the left, and on a leaf under the flower bud the desiccated remains of an earlier flower stalk (yes, it shrinks this much after falling and drying). Edit: added pictures with Baader UVIR cut and Baader U, for comparison. Link to comment
nfoto Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Interesting flower ... just would like to know its name, but is unknown to me as well. It's apparently a dicot that's all I can say for now. Link to comment
enricosavazzi Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 I think I found it, Ceropegia sandersoni (Apocynaceae) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceropegia_sandersonii Link to comment
nfoto Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Well, at least the genus. However there are nearly 200 known species ... The name "parachute plant" seems particularly apt, though. Link to comment
enricosavazzi Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 Some interesting information here (albeit not fulltext): http://www.cell.com/current-biology/pdf/S0960-9822(16)30879-X.pdf Link to comment
