I learned a new word: guttation

Wikipedia defines guttation as "the exudation of drops of xylem sap on the tips or edges of leaves of some vascular plants, such as grasses. Guttation is not to be confused with dew, which condenses from the atmosphere onto the plant surface."

Isn't this a spectacular image?  Love the upside-down reflections in the droplets...................  Thank you, Luc!
