The morning light shines on the yellow anthers and blue stamen hairs of this Spiderwort (Tradescantia sp.) in the front garden. The cells comprising the stamen hairs can serve as a sensitive bioassay for radiation exposure, turning from blue to pink when exposed to low levels of gamma rays. Fortunately, this flower has mostly blue cells!
