you definitely nailed it on this one hon. it does resemble a grain of pollen magnified like 30,000x or something. so this is what the spiky flowers look like in the embryo stage huh?

Thanks a lot, Dwayne! And, yes, this is what spiky flower pollen looks like. So, if we get a lot of them, we could have fields and fields of spiky flowers. I would enjoy that!
Maybe I need to do a fractal bee to help with the pollination.

Good Luck with all of that. Gosh, doctor and job application in one day. You're going to have to rest up tonight.
What part of NC did you move to? I got married in NC in the Smoky Mountains on a mountainside in the fall. It was gorgeous!!

you're married? i should've known a precious doll like you wouldn't stay single forever......
well i'm in apex right now living with my aunt on our family land, which has lakefront property. today i found out from a fisherman that at least 2-3 ft. of water has evaporated so far, which doesn't sound too good for the fish and ducks let alone anyone.

You're right, Lea! I wouldn't mind having this kind of pollen around. Then we might wind up with more "spiky flowers" and that would be all right with me.

Yes, I agree, the flowers would be great too! Got your email, haven't gotten it answered yet. As you can see I am running behind.

Nice! I imagine that this grain has just broken away from...somewhere, and in each protrusion of the grain there are those growing grains which will soon break free and fly out, themselves containing protrusions and growing grains...
...hmmm there could be something in this. Maybe I'll call Hawking.

I love your description of this! It does look like it could explode and release lots of little itselves all over the place.
Achoo!!
