Dew of the Sun

Drosera is the genus of the sundew plants, and also their name in French and Italian. From the Greek δρόσος, drósos, dew. In Latin books about herbs, the plant was called Ros solis, Dew of the Sun. Note that the red extensions are not trichomes; they are tentacles.

Nightshade singularity

A black hole at the core of a nebulae cluster? No; sunlight reflecting in the navel of a ripe deadly nightshade fruit, Atropa belladonna.

The great cycad wave

New Cycas revoluta leaves usually take less than a day to uncurl. If you are around when they do, don't miss it.
