I was going to say 50x is a new JungleDragon record, but you just doubled that! What is the maximum your lab can do, with or without cropping? Posted 10 years ago

        And here we are struggling with 1:1. Incredible! Would you have such a magnification of a segment of an insect's eye? Posted 10 years ago

The Common Hibiscus

"Hibiscus syriacus" is a species of flowering plant in the mallow family Malvaceae, native to India and much of Asia. It was given the epithet "syriacus" because it had been collected from gardens in Syria. Common names include rose of Sharon, Syrian ketmia or rose mallow, St Joseph's rod and Rosa de Sharon.
