<p>
 After attending workshop @ ggdsd, I have tried my foldscope and observed some mint flowers under it.
</p>
<p>
 Mint  belongs to a family of strong-smelling herbs.
</p>
<p>
 Leaves are opposite i.e
 <span style="font-size: 1.8rem">
  two leaves instead of one arise at every node.
 </span>
 <span style="font-size: 1.8rem">
 </span>
</p>
<p>
 <span style="font-size: 1.8rem">
  The
 </span>
 flowers are usually irregular
 <span style="font-size: 1.8rem">
  (bilateral symmetry),   often looking like little dog-heads.
 </span>
