Just to stir the pot a little bit...........a few weeks ago I was thinking
about how each stigmatic lip is divided into right & left halves.
And I was pondering if each stigmatic lip is associated with its own pod
chamber.........or if maybe the right half of one stigmatic lip + the left
half of the next stigmatic lip combine together into their own chamber,
etc............
Probably doesn't make a hill o' beans of sense, but then that's par for the
course for me.
I guess basically just imagine the whole thing shifted by 60 degrees. On
second thought, don't because that's probably just more confusing. LOL!
I'll shut up now. <g>
