Your Flowers by Day, Week 34:

Capturing nature’s variety, week by week!

I noticed drops of water appeared on the leaf tips of this Creeping Potentilla.

Did it rain late in the night? Did the morning dew rise early?

Water droplets on leaves are a natural occurrence, just like people sweating. When a plant is saturated, it needs to release the excess moisture, and it does it by transpiration through its leaves.

The Spruce

Nine times out of 10, a plant normally expels water via transpiration, but sometimes, a plant may be experiencing guttation.
Guttation is nature’s way of restoring the balance between the plant’s nutrients and water content.
This phenomenon often occurs at night.

    So interesting, Robert! I’ve never seen that before, but we live on the edge of the desert. We rarely have dew or rain.

      I believe that this phenomenon happened to be caused by internal moisture in the leaf and not external factors.
