Sun is shinin’ in the sky!!
There ain’t a cloud in sight!!
My silkie bby Pipevine,,,, given a small makeover! He’s just more elaborate and colorful now.
Opening up an Arisolochia flower to find what's inside is an adventure! The stamens are fused to the style and stigma, forming one combined ♂/♀ structure: the gynostemium. In Aristolochia californica (CA snakeroot or pipevine), the anthers are in three pairs of two and the stigmatic surface is three lobed. I think it’s both kinda cute and kinda creepy, especially with that strange, musty smell. #Aristolochiaceae #Aristolochia #AristolochiaCalifornica #pipevine #botany #plants #nature #art #science #scientificillustration #botanicalillustration #lineart #penandink #inkdrawing #linedrawing #illustration #plantart #CalBG #nativeplants https://www.instagram.com/p/B_siqxgAA1L/?igshid=88i49o59sopz
Video to show how beautiful this butterfly wing is! I found out that it is a pipevine swallowtail!
