Water droplets on rose leaf

[StephenM]

Hi all,

The rain and high humidity made for some nice water droplets on our roses this morning. The droplets on the edge of the leaf are the result of guttation, where the excess water taken up by the roots ends up returning to the outside environment (this occurs through pores at the leaf teeth). It's best seen when the soil is wet and the humidity is high.
Thanks for looking.

Cheers,
Stephen

Another stunner Stephen, very well done. Also thank you for the brief explanation of the inner workings of a rose. I learn something new every time I log in to Ice in Space.

Regards

Thanks Adam, Wayne and Jeanette! I love the look of these droplets on a still morning.

Cheers,
Stephen
