Yes! When I saw the dots on the VMS drawing, back in 2007 I thought WOW! He drew the pores!
THIS, more than anything else, is what endeared me to the VMS. I know that may sound strange, but no one else, as far as I knew (and still as far as I know) drew plants at that level of detail at that point in history. I was IMPRESSED and that's why I have stuck with the VMS.
Vallarsia also has those pores, by the way, they are just smaller and not quite as easy to see unless you look closely. Its growth pattern is very similar to the larger (more familiar) water lilies, like Nymphaea. I think I posted a pic (or a link) a few years ago, but it would be hard to find it again. The forum has grown so large.
