That was one of my questions Dave, was I getting the wrong end? At first the right side looked to be the stem end, the left the blossom end. I'm not sure now, mature stems are usually thick and rough so I wondered if what appears to be a stem on the right side is just an odd protrusion. It would seem strange also for a dried blossom which looks quite large to still be attached at this ripe stage.
If Reid could confirm which is the stem end I think we could conclude which it is.
