Viewing Chinese Lanterns in Pittsburgh

On the day after Thanksgiving, I was viewing Abutilon pictum — commonly known as the “Chinese lantern” plant — at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, Pittsburgh, PA. While being charmed by its whimsical beauty, I also mused about the genetic coding requirements for the changes in protein expression and timing (during development) to give its precise floral morphology.
