Some plants have leaves and stems that are furry. And some of these plants are very water resistant. The preceding photograph shows a very hydrophobic plant with a furry surface. Rain and dew collects like mercury on the leaves and as it evaporates the last drops to go are at the very tips, as if they were adorned with jewels. This may be because these droplets are very spherical and have the minimum surface area, thus evaporating the slowest. (The short, fine fur on these leaves isn't quite visible in the photograph, but the tip droplets are.)
