Greetings all,
The other day when I was misting the tank my wife and I observed some interesting 'smoke' coming out of the flowers of our pilea (we think it's an involucrata). Upon closer inspection we realized it was actually a little water jet coming out of the flower.
When misted directly on the flower the water builds up and eventually the flower opens extremely fast and a jet of water squirts to the top of the viv.
We then decided to replicate and actually obtain some evidence. That evidence is here in a short video.
I see that it's a bit hard to identify in this small window so you can just go here: http://youtu.be/KD-jlyllpAA
