Cool article. Now before some of you start sewing Nasturtium Leaves and Butterfly Wings together to make a rain-wind shell and tarp, please take a moment to appreciate the beauty of nature, in its natural form. ;-)

So after we (briefly) appreciate the beauty of nature, we can start sewing?

Thanks for the article.

Cool article. It's nice to see it getting some press. I work down the hall from the guys who do that particular magic:

Interesting indeed. Oddly I never noticed water beading on nasturtium leaves, but it's very obvious on lady's mantle (Alchemilla mollis).
