Did she say Pollen?
Yup, I say pollen can be an amazingly interesting thing, not to mention stunningly gorgeous. I finally got to read the February issue of National Geographic and the awesome article by Rob Dunn and Martin Oeggerli entitled Love is in the Air. Trust me on this – it is SO interesting and the images from a scanning electron microscope of different grains of pollen are so stunning, you won’t be able to put it down! Check it out.
Geranium Pollen
This photo shows yellow grains of pollen on the stigma of a Geranium flower.
Pine Pollen
And this one shows Pine pollen, which coats your car with that yellow dust each spring and makes allergy sufferers miserable. Who’d have thought it would be so attractive?
