I love patterns and a few years back I discovered that there are beautiful patterns to be found in plants at a microscopic scale. So I was delighted to find this awesome pattern in a prepared slide of a corn stem:

 <img alt="Corn Stem" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1923 gcloudimg" data-attachment-id="1923" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta='{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}' data-image-title="Corn Stem" data-recalc-dims="1" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/microcosmosdelta.appspot.com/images/transfer_1931/Corn-Stem.jpg"/>
 </a>


 To me, it looks like a bunch of tiny skulls screaming. So delightfully creepy.
