Have you seen this before?

 My college roommate shared these two photos with me from her garden in Ohio. She gave me permission to share here. 



Those are daffodil leaves that beads of dew landed on. 

Truly fascinating. 

Thank you, Joyce.

Yes, I have seen it on my daffodils and lilies, but never thought to photograph it! How striking when seen in this way. Your friend has a good eye!
