Wild poppy
Orange poppies pop up in our nextdoor neighbor's front "garden" every year automatically
Actual size of our subjects
I peeled open an unopened poppy flower bud and found a bunch of hair-like thingies circling the seed pod
Inside a fresh poppy flower seed pod are thousands of transparent seeds
A dried poppy flower seedpod contains thousands of black seeds
One poppy flower seed
A pretty pink wild flower picked from the crevice of our front door step is even prettier under the magnifying glass. (It is about 1cm in length)
Unripe mulberry (less than 1 cm in width)
Each mulberry is made up of a cluster of "things" topped with a hairy "thing"
