Inflorescence of Bertholletia excels, 2015. New York Botanical Garden.
The cream flowers of the Brazil nut tree are captured in numerous stages as they emerge from the green buds in this revealing photograph by the American botanist Scott More, who works at the New York Botanical Garden. Mori's photograph reveals how technical advances have enabled botanists to use high-resolution colour photography as an equally detailed alternative to traditional botanical art.
