hello steemit friends, I would like to share with you a sequence of photos that I photographed this morning the photos are from the flower of a pequi tree. The pequi is an exotic fruit, extremely delicate and fragile and has a particularly curious smell.
The flowers are yellow and unravel in any wind away from the stem. In this detach, loose a knot and leave in the air a smell of sperm. Its flowers are hermaphrodites, composed of five whitish petals, free from each other, with numerous and showy stamens (masculine).
The pequi tree blossoms during the months of August
to November, with ripening fruits from September (normally November) until the beginning of February.
for today I bring this curiosity to all, do not forget to upvote in this post, for it is helping me and motivating my work. I followed the page to stay inside of new curiosities of the scientific environment.
thank you
