Did you know... 3

... that double-flowered mutants (pictured) were first documented over two thousand years ago by Theophrastus and are found in many popular flower varieties — including carnations, camellias, and most roses?

I made this new wikipedia article in the last couple days and have submitted it to the Did you know project for display on the main page.

    Interesting. So that means plants do not change much even if milennia have passed. They stay the same basically.

    I just had to leave you a message because I came across your "flower development image" on Wikipedia and was intrigued by the wonderful graphic. Very nice! I'm an artist / graphic designer very much into plants. Check my blog, will be on Etsy soon also. Thanks for your picture! Best regards, Lisa
