Watery Leafs.

In botany, a leaf is an above-ground plant organ specialized for photosynthesis. For this purpose, a leaf is typically flat (laminar) and thin. There is continued debate about whether the flatness of leaves evolved to expose the chloroplasts to more light or to increase the absorption of carbon dioxide. In either case, the adaption was made at the expense of water loss. In the Devonian period, when carbon dioxide concentration was at several times its present value, plants did not have leaves or flat stems. Many bryophytes have flat, photosynthetic organs, but these are not true leaves. Neither are the microphylls of lycophytes. The leaves of ferns, gymnosperms, and angiosperms are variously referred to as macrophyll, megaphylls, or euphylls.

Leaves are also the sites in most plants where transpiration and guttation take place. Leaves can store food and water, and are modified in some plants for other purposes. The comparable structures of ferns are correctly referred to as fronds. Furthermore, leaves are prominent in the human diet as leaf vegetables.

Hei! Her var det hvertfall et skarpladde bilder! ;) Og en flott blogg forøvrig. Takk for din kritsike sans, hehe! Bildet mitt var tatt med et kompaktkamera, ikke helt skarptladd. Men nå er det rettet opp, redusert støv, så nå er det klart tydligere :)

Nydelige bilder alle sammen, men jeg falt spesielt for stemningen i det tredje.
