This is what a blade of grass looks like under a microscope. Next time you take a walk outside, know that the grass is happy to see you. 🧪

Mot of the time when I’m interacting with grass it’s to give it a haircut so I dunno how happy it is to see me, specifically.

By the way, this IS a genuine image of a cross section of grass leaf under a microscope. No part of the leaf is "smiling" in any literal sense obviously, BUT the round features known as "vascular bundles" do resemble "smiley faces" when viewed from above- which is pretty cool!

also the smell of fresh cut grass is basically a chemical signal to the other grasses that there's a predator feeding on them, the grass is chemically screaming a warning lol

Funny thing is to get this you have to cut the grass, and the cut grass smell is reportedly the grass warning other plants nearby about the danger
