Several lines (top) show induction everywhere except the petals... cool but I'd prefer the opposite!!

I just arrived home after #PlantBio2025 ❤️. Thanks to all unknown passengers that kindly help others to not miss their flights by letting them jump airport cue's after kind request. To those who don't, tomorrow could be you in that stressing situation. Be empathetic, be kind, it's very easy🙏😉

Petal size and shape is generally determined by a period of cell proliferation followed by cell growth. Extending the period of proliferation results in much larger petals without compromising shape.
The robustness of plant development is admirable.
