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.
WHITE RINGS. A milky-white ring around the edge of the eye's cornea - the transparent circular part of the front of the eyeball - is usually called arcus senilis. The white ring is caused by the deposition of fat in the cornea and can mean you have high levels of fat in your blood. Although this is usually found in older people, a different term, arcus juvenilis, is used to describe white rings found in those under 40.
