For some reason that escapes my rather non-scientific mind, some plants seem to have more of a propensity to gather up droplets of moisture than others. Lady's mantle (Alchemilla Mollis) is one such. I don't know the name of the shrub pictured above - but it also was covered in little beads of dew that sparkled like diamonds.
It is most likely because of a waxy surface on the leaves.
ReplyDeleteIt's true...I know which plants in our yard seem to make such pretty droplets. My favorite is our lotus in the water garden. It's leaves must be made from Teflon!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what the plant is, but I do know that your image of the leaves covered with beaded water is superb. Nature's diamonds, indeed.
