I took several slices through the ovary (I hope!) and this was the cleanest image I could get.
My assumption is that the whiter triangular center is the Ovary with the "Y" being placenta & septa; and voids between the Y's arms the locules.
If that's the case then surrounding the ovary, in the green, are 6 large markings/voids, each with a small 'pip' in the center.
(In the image the closer ones are clearer to see than the far side).
I'm trying to work out what they are ?
My thought is that they are related to the stamen, but I foolishly wasn't watching close enough when I plucked those out, and don't have another flower to hand to check.
Appreciate any feedback on any corrections to the above interpretation and especially my unknown features.
Many thanks
