Pretty picture: Trichosalpinx orbicularis

Well. "Pretty" picture is stretching the truth a bit.


I like the leaves, though.

Oh, I don't know. Personally, I think the flowers are kind of nifty ...

Wow. Being medical I immediately read 'Trichosalpinx orbicularis' as 'Hairy fallopian tube eyelid muscle'. Probably not the image the botanists were going for.
