Aerated Raindrops
Another wave of La Nina rain storms hits the Gold Coast leaving raindrops on my Epiphyllum oxypetalum (Queen of the Night) plants. But there's more. Each raindrop is gleaming with tiny air bubbles. I suspect the air has dissolved in the cold water at altitude as the raindrop forms. Air is less soluble at warmer lower altitudes, that is a ground level on the leaves, so it forms tiny bubbles inside the raindrop.
