THE ONE WHO LOST HIS GLASSES AND IS ALL “GUYS WWAIT UP GOD”
The above are fasciated daisies. Fasciation is most often recognized by the flattened, fused appearance of stems, but can also be seen in flowers, roots and fruits. While fasciation affects the plant’s appearance, it has little affect on the health of the plant.
There are multiple causes of fasciation. First, it can be caused by a bacterium (Rhodococcus fascians) that mimics the plant’s natural chemicals for controlling cell growth and development causing the unusual growth. Second, it can be caused by physical damage to the meristem tissue where growth is initiated.
The physical damage to the meristem usually occurs when the plant is a seedling and may be caused by an insect, herbicide, or physical contact. Thirdly, fasciation can be caused by a recessive gene. (Source)
The Gem-Like Turquoise Ice Found on Lake Baikal
Russian photographer Alexey Trofimov calls Lake Baikal “the gem that does not need to be cut.” It’s the oldest, largest, deepest, and clearest freshwater lake in the world. Every winter, as temperatures plummet to well below zero, the crystal clear lake water forms brilliant gem-like ice that glimmers in the sunlight.
The beautiful structures are formed as the lake freezes unevenly across its surface, causing some blocks to be pushed up onto the surface of the frozen lake. Trofimov has made a number of trips out to the lake to capture these “gems” in all their beauty.
