Zygophyllum morgsana fruit skin details

The membranous texture of the Zygophyllum morgsana fruits seen close-up reveals complex, slightly prominent net-veining. Apart from the colour variations on the uneven glossy surface, there are differences between the marginal wings and the central part of each where the seed is developing.

Such details change with ripening, part of the plants phenology, the cyclic and seasonal natural changes clear to see in living things. People check in the mirror for the inevitable shifts in personal phenology, eagerly anticipating the favourable and dreading the unfavourable features in bodily development and decline. They sometimes spend money in vain on obfuscating the inevitable, unsure of whom they are really misleading.

The pale leaflet blades in picture are much smoother than the fruits. They are fleshy but firm with tips that differ in shape and some textural eccentricities in the central parts (Manning, 2009; iNaturalist).
