A #macro #photograph of some #dew on the unopened #bud of a #walking #iris #flower. The #WalkingIris or #ApostolicIris grows by allowing a new #plant for form where the flower was. The weight of the growing plant them causes the #FlowerSpike to fall over and allows the new plant to #root itself in the ground.
In this way, the #trimezia #genus grows by #walking.

Trimezia sincorana, Palmengarten Frankfurt, Germany, 2021.
Trimezia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Iridaceae, native to the warmer parts of southern Mexico, Central and South America, Florida, and the West Indies. The English name walking iris refers to the fact that new plantlets form at the end of the flower spikes; after flowering, the spikes fall over and a new plant grows.#botany #flora #botanic #garden #plants #botanist #trimezia #sincorana #brazil #walkingiris #palmengarten
