I'm All Dewy On The Inside!

Dew is a common sight, isn't it? But dew on the inside of a flower? It was my first time seeing it. XD

This flower (I have no idea what kind it is) has not bloomed. But I was totally fascinated to see that there were drops of moisture within its unopened petals. I've never studied plant biology or physics and it has never crossed my mind that something like this could even happen. How odd!

In other news, next week will be another Jumping Spiders Week. 8D

Shots from the last Jumping Spiders Week in July: http://365project.org/tags/jumping%20spiders%20week

[Sally Ings]

This is really fascinating, never seen something like this before. Lovely bright colour as well!

[Bob]

Makes the leaves look transparent. Interesting shot. We don't get much dew in Colorado...too dry.

[Yvonne]

That is so cool. I have never seen anything like this. I love the yellow and the little bits of orange or red on the tips.

[Sondra Sarra]

Very nice find and capture. Fav.

[Linda Agne]

Great find

[Karen Williams]

Great vibrant shot - how strange the dew should be on the inside.

[Vanilla Spice]

Interesting shot. I love your title!

[Dixie Goode]

I wonder. Maybe it opens and closes based on the light. A lot of flowers do. Excellent discovery.

[Corinne]

It's a beautiful capture, it's probably condensation from the plant itself and it makes a lovely picture.

[tony gig]

Fabulous Livia...Fav

[Cathy Donohoue]

Gorgeous shot Livia.
I'd like to see that when it blooms - maybe with a spider on it?

[karenann]

Beautiful ...I've never seen one like this either. It's gorgeous from the "inside out." Was this in a greenhouse-type atmosphere? I mean where there might be alot of moisture all of the time? Just wondering. Very exotic ... wonderful capture.

[Claire]

Mother Nature at her strangest best.

[Livia]

@karenann Nope, not in a greenhouse, it was just out there, growing in the soil at the park. Oddly enough, at the time, there was no dew on the other plants in the vicinity. So I was very surprised to see this!

[Roberta Clark Chalmers]

What a cool shot! I love the transparency of the petals.

[KWind]

Wow... such vivid colour. I love the dew!!

[Karen Mitchell]

How cool is that? Must be like a greenhouse in there, so the humidity gets trapped? Beautiful colour as well.

[Chris]

It's got to be magic! Good work.

[Lisa Pouncy]

How unusual. Well captured xx

[Tony]

Another of your amazing discovories Livia, your awesome captures have taken me on an adventure into another world. Rave and Fav.

All I can come up with is condensation?! Interesting find, never seen something like that either. Beautiful bright yellow, color therapy works, I'm feeling happy for some reason. :)

That's really lovely- I can't explain it either- but it's immaterial as far as the picture goes! Beautiful shot Livia!

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

This would be worth remembering if you got stranded somewhere without water. I wonder if these grow in the desert?

[Denise]

What a great find! I can't say that I've ever seen this before.

[michelle mcintyre]

Lovely looking plant - maybe its storing its own moisture....do you have lots of jumping spiders around - l came across one a few months ago, as l was focusing it looked at me with amazing blue eyes , l jumped, the shot was out of focus, the spider ran away and l have been keeping an eye out ever since but with no luck....looking forward to your's next week!!

I sure would like to know what prompted the humidity. Maybe it has an internal leak.

[Linda Lorraine]

[Carolyn White]

Beautiful capture!!! :0)

[Aleksandra]

Fabulous find and beautiful tones!

[Livia]

A great, big, pretty, dewy and bright "THANK YOU!" to everyone! It's so odd, isn't it. I will look out for this plant again the next time I visit the park. Thank you so much for your constant support and generous comments. I am grateful.

[Dana Palermo]

How cool!!! The dew drops almost look like the are translucent through the petals, not on the petals!!

[naladka]

Gorgeous details!

[Kitti Nelson]

[Nada A.]

Very cool find.

[Erica Waterer]

Great capture

[Gabrielle C]

Huh.. how about that! Pretty cool Livia!

[Beau]

Stunning. Beautiful. Great color and find. Is it possible that the night was colder, and the flower trapped the cool air inside, making the moisture when the heat of the morning reached the pedals?

[Ann Jones]

What a fascinating capture!

[EvaHenriette]

Wow, this is a really great shot. Very nicely done.
