Thanks mucho friends! Ok decided to get out the big hardware and get some microscope shots of the Purple Stones, you crazies are gonna love this! (paging Ms Mossy, you'll want to see these lol). In particular, I tried to focus on highlighting the purple stalks which I mentioned, similar to how the SS Red Poison has red stalked trichs.

Ok a couple are blurry, this is difficult while the plants are still alive lol.

This one is nifty as it shows the spiked type protective trichs there at the leaf tip and a couple stray ambers too:

I like this one bc a couple trichs appear to have grown such long stalks that they are now bent over by gravity haha!
+
Blurry but nice angle on some purp stalks

FAVORITE! I know sometimes we say how a plant looks delicious, but seriously this looks actually yummy hahaa! If there were some kinda special award just for tasty looking, this might just have won lol. (also features some spike trichs in the bg)

This was interesting bc I found one of those elusive "trichome trees" where a bunch of trichomes grow up all bunched up together like a head of broccoli lol.

This one's got some purple heads and stalks, very cool!
