Plant cuticle
Contribution for the Macro Dreams challenge: drop
Learning something new every day. I've been wondering why the water drops seem to form round pearls especially on the oak leaves. I first thought it is because of lotus effect, but then realized it is actually an epicuticular wax as a plant cuticle that really does the job. So, the wax on leaves makes them water repellant.
