Take a tour with me of the part of this big bush it makes every effort to hide. This is an interesting tour of one of the vegetable kingdom's secrets.

To simulate a natural pond, I loaded a small aquarium with grasses, twigs, bits of plant matter I found under the snow in March. I watched the emergence of organisms out of their cysts and hiding places over the following weeks. Spring has come (albeit reluctantly) to Manitoba now. I am planning to put the aquarium outside under a tree in the few days. This video shows the state of my experiment. It is loaded with energetic life.

If you ask me, the root of a plant is the most mysterious part. It does miraculous bio-chemical things and when you look at it to see how the mechanics can possibly work, you see only disconnected parts that seem to float in a void. This is a magical mystery tour. Come with me.

I took a tour, today, of a most impressive leaf. You say leaves can't be impressive! This one had a very wide range of cell sizes from small microbe size to naked-eye visible. I spent some time wandering in and around this leaf. It was worth at least 27 minutes (please ignore the initial photo--the medium didn't transfer well into the video format).

Unmeasurably small slips of living matter are the what I tend to see under the microscope. Sometimes these tiny things (organisms, beings, life forms) just seem to shiver and spin meaninglessly and sometimes they behave in what appears to be a purposive manner (not implying consciousness of course). The most immeasurable small often do what the larger ones do.

Broccoli: Flowers within Flowers
Although I know broccoli is in the cabbage family, to me it looks like a bunch of tiny green peppers bunched together. It's in a hierarchical arrangement of blooms, like a Queen Anne's Lace in a way--but much different. Beautiful cell arrangements. This is a complex and fascinating organism.

The little silver flecks floating on the surface of the salt-water puddle may be little biofilm communities composed of bacterial strings. It's the first time I ever saw anything like this. Take a look.

Interesting. They must have flowers too though. Asexual reproduction is dangerous for the species.

The inside of a green pepper looks like a magic cavern to me. There are shiny bumps that look like gems. I thought they might be very large cells. I took a look. The bumps are not cells, but cells are inside the bumps. They are very large, nearly naked-eye visible, but disguised.
