I'm a PhD candidate in Sydney. My hobby is peering at plants and stuff through my stereo-microscope. My other hobby is sharing them with you! New photos every Monday and Wednesday.

The family Lamiaceae is probably my favourite because they’re easy to spot (flower spikes, woody shrubs) and the flowers themselves look just great. They have a bi-symmetry...

The family Lamiaceae is probably my favourite because they’re easy to spot (flower spikes, woody shrubs) and the flowers themselves look just great. They have a bi-symmetry that reminds me of pea flowers. I’ve only photographed the pea family once so far, but there will be lots lots more of them in 2015.
