Woche 17 - 'Blumen und Pflanzen' (Flowers and Plants)

I think I posted almost daily "Flowers & Plants" in the past week, but never thought of the 52 weeks challenge 😳 So - as usual - here's my last minute (or actually last day) contribution.

17/53

Pulled out my Old push/pull EF 100-300 f/5.6 L Lens. It came out way back in June 1987 some 38 years ago. I think it still takes good images even today. Don't you?

#GreenWalls Can Strip #Pollution from Air, Some #Plants Do It Better than Others https://www.sci.news/biology/green-wall-plants-12741.html

The interplay between particulate matter capture, wash-off, and leaf traits in green wall species https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048969724010891

"this depends on the shape of leaves and on the micromorphological properties of their surfaces... The evergreen #candytuft and #ivy were especially good at trapping particles. Meanwhile, rain was able to wash most of the pollution off the hairy leaves of #lavender."

Biologists at the University of Surrey have investigated inter-species variation in particulate matter accumulation, wash-off, and retention on ten broadleaf plant species, with a focus on leaf characteristics.
