Every morning I look outside and see the cherry blossoms, the beautiful flowers swaying in the wind and you can smell their scent (stench)  from a mile away.

 Now wouldn’t you want to take a closer look at these flowers? I mean we can clearly see the outside but what about the inside?


 I took a few flowers and decided to look inside them


 I took a slide and using forceps I took the anthers of the flower and crushed them to get pollen .


 I laid the pollen on the slide and inserted it into my foldscope.


 I personally love the imaging station I have because it makes taking pictures very easy.

 I feel the cells of the petals look like bubbles that are merged together
