    Sparaxis roxburghii too shy to open
    Author: Ivan Lätti
    Photographer: Judd Kirkel Welwitch

    This bashful Sparaxis roxburghii corolla that hides its inner floral parts from the camera deserves to be put on record. Not quite the floral stance to win accolades, but there may be mitigating factors such as temperature and wind protection for stamens and style that feature in the causes of this stance (Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iNaturalist).
