With inimitably clear vision, Sir Charles Darwin wrote in 1859 (!): "Flowers rank amongst the most beautiful productions of nature, but this beauty serves merely as a guide to insects, in order that the flower may be visited and fertilized." The image displays eight different steps during the coloration process, using the single florescence from a composite as an example.

Nature publication
todays headlines at nature.com feature a most impressive publication of Florence Clavaguera et al (Transmission and spreading of tauopathy in transgenic mouse brain; Nature Cell Biology, 7 June 2009. doi:10.1038/ncb1901), with an eye-catcher by Micronaut on display!

What the hek is this?! Well, it was a lot of work but unfortunately the silly flower seemed not to harbour a single pollen grain at all. So I tried to get close enough to maybe find some nasty bacteria at least -to make the best out of the situation. But what resembles bacteria at first sight turns out to be the smallest pollen grains in the kingdom of plants. Indeed, those marvellous things measure only 4.5µm in length and still hoste the complete male genome safely inside. It's a miracle! © Martin Oeggerli / www.Micronaut.ch, 2009. All rights reserved.
