Another image from the same scan as Rainbow Lily. The is an endoscopic view looking from the mid throat portion of a just opening stargazer lily. In the center are the filaments and stamen leading to the anthers and stigma. At the peripheral are the petals curving outwards. The lines resemble contour lines in a topographic map.

Certainly detailed, colorful and an interesting process, the end result for me is not as beautiful as the xray images. Others may think differently as well they may. Possibly its the colors that overpower the flow. Personal preference only.

Fascinating, and quite beautiful. Even without your description, the flower-ness of this comes through.
