Enlarged 8x life-size, 2-part
Family: Solanaceae
In nature, the Potato flower branches usually divide into two stalks, each with multiple flowers. The gramopetalous corolla’s 5 points are radially symmetrical, marked by yellow lines that equally transverse & divide. The 5 stamen sets are fused to form a conical stamina. The corolla and stamina detach to reveal the superior pistil. The powder coated paint on the stamina and stem give life-like texture that provides realism to the model. 5 petals, 5 sepals, 5 sets of stamen all fall into Fibonacci’s sequence. Similar flower structures to the Potato flower are Peppers (Capsicum annuum) and Tomatoes (Lycopersicum esculentum).
Please note that the plant model shows realistic-looking pollen.
