It’s time to pay another visit to the Department of Awesome Natural Phenomena where we’ll learn about the delicate beauty of Guttation:
Guttation is the exudation of drops of sap (xylem) 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.
At night, transpiration usually does not occur because most plants have their stomata (pores found in the epidermis of leaves, stems and other organs that are used to control gas exchange) closed.
When there is a high soil moisture level, water will enter plant roots, because the water potential of the roots is lower than in the soil solution. The water will accumulate in the plant, creating a slight root pressure.
The root pressure forces some water to exude through special leaf tip or edge structures, hydathodes or water glands, forming drops. Root pressure (osmotic pressure within the cells of a root system that causes sap to rise through a plant stem to the leaves) provides the impetus for this flow, rather than transpirational pull. [Source: Wikipedia]
These photos are all beautiful examples of Guttation. In order of appearance they were taken by Luc Viatour (www.Lucnix.be), Ruth Jensen, Ursula Roseeu, Dohduhdah, AlexRK, and John Petranka.
Visit Twisted Sifter to view even more examples of this awesome natural phenomenon.

I’m not ‘pro-abortion,’ that’s the very one clear thing I want you to understand. Abortion is not the right answer for every pregnancy. And it’s not the right answer for every flawed pregnancy, and it’s not the right answer for every rape and incest patient. But when the patient knows it’s the right answer for her, then I want to be here for her.

The Doctor drops in on Clara for a routine visit, only to discover that he’s lost his best friend in the universe.
Alright, OP, you win.
You really do.
You ruttin’ win.
I bet you want to know why you win.
Well, I’ve never really had a Tumblr post touch me like this one has.
I’m sad, now.
