Messing around looking at the surface of various tissues from the corolla and calex from flowers of my Sage plant. 1) petal cells on the corolla surface, 2) pigmented (anthocyanins no doubt) cells on the outer calex surface, 3) a glandular trichome on the corolla surface, 4) petal cells with and without pigments along the interface between purple and white stripes on the interior of the corolla. Taken with an old compound scope and a pixel phone camera. #Botany #Microscopy #Photography #Science
