Chasing the bloom is the botanistsâ version of birding expeditions. Unlike birds, the plants donât migrate, but the blossoms do, in a sense. Since the rhododendronsâ colors are most vibrant when they first blossom, finding them is a time-sensitive matter. Too early, and youâll find no flowers.
A rupture of a blood vessel in the sclera (white part) of the eye will produce a blood spot. These can occur for various reasons, they are fairly rare, and will likely resolve on their own. Blood spots that do not clear up, tend to reappear or appear in other parts of the eye, should be examined by an opthamologist.
When small, delicate blood vessels break beneath the tissue covering the white of the eye (conjunctiva), resulting eye redness may mean that you have a subconjunctival hemorrhage. A subconjunctival hemorrhage usually is benign, causing no vision problems or significant eye discomfort despite its conspicuous appearance. But eye redness also can be a sign of other types of potentially serious eye conditions.
