|
10. Early June. View of possibly the same
cluster at a later date |
11. Early June. Same cluster of plants as in photo

with bracts emerge from what originally
was a terminal cluster on the longest stem.
|

splitting. there are red-tipped
bracts showing as well as red-tipped sepals.
|
15. Early June. Top view of a blossom cluster.
Note the slightly reflexed sepal on the right blossom,
the red tips on the sepals on the left blossom,
and the elongated unsplit styles
|
16. Early June. An elongated cluster at the
same stage.
|
17. Early June. Another cluster. Note the three
styles on the lower blossom and how the
red-tipped sepals have reflexed. Also note the
red-tipped bracts at branchings and the bases of.
the pedicels observe the color changes as the
now split pistils develop into follicles.
|
18. Late June. A cluster of mature paired follicles.
At the upper right is a blossom with a split pistil
and persistent filaments, some still carrying their
desiccated anthers. There are reflexed sepals which
have lost most of the red color from the tips.
