Melembu (Pterocymbium tinctorium)

These enigmatic seeds grow high up in the branches of a tree that can reach 164 feet (50 metres) tall. Unsurprisingly the luscious red, gold and green wings ripen to the texture of dragonfly wings to enable the seed to glide to a new home in safety. 

Taken from Levon's latest body of work titled The Hidden Beauty of Seeds and Fruits, these macro photographs display the Carpology collection of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.

The images presented allow the audience to appreciate and study these tiny specimens in levels of detail normally only available with the use of microscopes. Using his photo stacking techniques and bespoke camera system, Levon was able to capture unprecedented levels of detail far too small to view with the naked eye providing us with an insight into an unseen world.
