First Bloom: The chili pepper plant



The blooms of chili peppers are beautiful white flowers that is shaped similar to an aniseed star with five petals.  The most prominent feature of the bloom aside from their charming looks are the anther connected to the tip of the filament (aka those little antenna-like things situated in the middle of the flower).  The anther looks very much like the seeds found inside a chili peppers, not a coincidence- I'm sure.
