Friday/ the drops are blobs

I spotted these ‘bloplets’ on a leaf on Wednesday night by my friends’ house before we went out.  The leaf surfaces are waxy, of course, and so the water forms big blobs instead of droplets.  The Wikipedia entry has an interesting video clip of a water droplet on a superhydrophobic surfacs getting cut in two by using a superhydrophobic knife.   Here is the link  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_tension.
