Imagine anything more quaint

For the ant!

I love your description of this incredibly beneficial and cheerful plant. What a world exists on it if we only take the time to look. The close-up of the nectary is stunning. What fun to have all these discoveries and be able to present them to the rest of us. Bless you!
