    I'm into agri. biology, and last night I was looking at some of my lemon drops leaves under the microscope. They seem to have an oddly structured trichome I've never seen before, I think it might be a possible specialization linked to stress/capsaicin production. It would be great if anyone could read my blog post, and tell me what you think (or how crazy I am :p). Thanks.
