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.
Normally the whites of eyes or sclera are white in color. One can get yellow sclera, a condition also called scleral icterus, which is caused by an elevation of bilirubin in the bloodstream. Bilirubin is made in the liver and is yellow in color.
