My personal vehicle's come due for some routine maintenance and yesterday was a reasonably dry interlude between episodes of wet weather for getting most of the work done. A couple of the local species have been doing well in the protected microsite under the bonnet which receives runoff from the windscreen.

At forum resolution it's helpful to crop in for the chloroplasts and cell wall jointing. The chloroplasts are around 7 μm across and the cells roughly 50 μm.
