Crassula ovata flower details

These pale pink Crassula ovata flowers display their globose ovaries at the petal bases. In each flower five thread-like styles protrude from the tips of the five separate carpels forming a ring in each star-shaped corolla. The bigger antenna-like wires emerging from below the ovaries are the filaments, tipped with anthers full of pollen (Smith, et al, 2017; Leistner, (Ed.), 2000; iNaturalist; https://pza.sanbi.org).
