SPECIAL FEATURE: Gallery of galls
Galls grow on plants infected with bacteria, parasites or insect eggs. Different species' galls are highly distinctive, often providing protection or nourishment for the creature growing within. Some are even useful to us; ink was traditionally made with tannic acid gleaned from oak galls. Enjoy this gallery of growths, blisters and curious protrusions in the plant kingdom.Original Link: http://feeds.boingboing.net/~r/boingboing/iBag/~3/pd3cibJoag8/gallery-of-galls.html
