CapituLab capitula take #4 - lettuce flowers are (maybe surprisingly) among our absolute favorites! We are using lettuce in the lab as a genetic model system to study how flowers in the Asteraceae develop. The red ones here were some of the first transformed in lab by @reidselby.bsky.social!

CapituLab capitula take #2 - These are Clappia suaedifolia and Jamesianthus alabamensis, both monotypic genera in the Tageteae (marigold) tribe, collected and grown by our very own @brannanrose.bsky.social!
