It's not flowering right now but this image fits our weather perfectly - it's raining, or rather pouring, again!

Lady's mantle leaves are always like this, they repel water. Alchemists in the renaissance studied this plant because they believed it had magical powers and thought if it could turn water into something that looked like mercury, it could probably helped turn lead into gold. Anyway, they never got close to that but discovered along the way the many medicinal properties of this faery plant.

Great job - Only nit pick is having many droplets to draw the eye. If there is a single droplet in focus, it tends to please my eye - but that is a personal preference. I like the droplets on the edge of the leaves - fascinating.

I like how each little tip is highlighted with a dew drop.
