DescriptionAmsonia tabernaemontana paired follicles at tip of fruiting stem.jpg
English: Amsonia tabernaemontana: paired follicular fruits at tip of fruiting stem.
Fruiting stem borne by a containerised specimen, purchased from a plant nursery in the coastal town of Blyth in the northernmost English county of Northumberland. Note characteristic elongate, narrow, follicles, borne in ‘V’ -shaped pairs clustered at stem tip. Species belonging to the genus Amsonia are herbaceous perennials of upright habit, having the common name ‘bluestars’ and many are popular as ornamental plants, grown for their attractive flowers and bright Autumn leaf colours. This is one the first few images of Amsonia fruits to be uploaded to Wikipedia Commons (hitherto, the only images available have been of plants in flower).
