SOURSOP FLOWER

in #flowers7 years ago

Hi steemers:

Today I bring you the flower of Annona muricata (soursop). The genus Annona belongs to Annonaceae family

Annona species have a lot of spirally arranged stamens and pistils. Here you can see the beautiful white pistils ready to be pollinated

Look fleshy sepals and petals in this blossom

The flowers are very fragrant and attract mainly beetles that pollinated them

In this picture we can see that pistil (female part) is ready to be pollinated while stamens (male part) are still immature. This is a mechanism to promote cross pollination

All pollinated pistils are fused to form a compound fleshy fruit that is so tasty, Try it sometime.

I hope you enjoy it

All pictures are mine
