Water: Lady's Mantle
The Lady's Mantle that grows (prolifically) in my garden is an unassuming plant, with a unprepossessing flower. The leaves are rounded, and pleated, and nothing fancy....until it rains, or it has been dewy, or the sprinkler has gone off. Then the serrated edges of the leaves, and the short hairs on the surface, capture the water drops and turn them into beaded embellishments. Sheer magic!!!
