•  Info Ripening seed capsule on the spiral of a Cyclamen Hederifolium. Focus stack of 27 photos. The spiral distributes the seeds around the plant.

•  Comment I wondered about the role of the spiral. I found this online which explains it well: "As each flower fades, the flowering stem retracts the old flower though a clever spiral coiling mechanism. The coil pulls the developing seed back to the ground-level corm, where it holds on tight until the seed is ripe. The ripe seeds are then cleverly coated with a sugary substance known as elaiosome, which is enticing to ants and wasps, who then unknowingly assist with seed dispersal."

• Thank you very much for your clear explanation. Nature has a solution for everything (except for the environmental problems caused by humans themselves)--Famberhorst (talk) 15:23, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Regarding "human", I prefer would have preferred a natural background rather than an industrial one -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:27, 23 June 2024 (UTC) update -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:39, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Note: If you mean the background of the photo, that's just grass from the lawn in the garden.--Famberhorst (talk) 06:53, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Sure it's not "a kind of decor" like here? -- Basile Morin (talk) 07:47, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

I'm very sure! The photo was taken last week on June 18, 2024 06:47. Since all that criticism (including from you) we have stopped photographing the plants and flowers against an artificial background. We haven't done that for a while. So your comment is an annoying unjustified assumption.--Famberhorst (talk) 15:36, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
