Our patio is getting its annual clean with pressure washing. I’m like a big kid playing with the water. I love it every Spring when the Dendritic patterns are revealed again. Cornwall is very damp and a green film grows over the stones over the winter and it’s like magic when there they are again, so delicate and pretty! I used to think they were fossilised ferns but no…… “Dendrite Limestone (sometimes called picture stone or painted stone) is an amazing original work of art by Mother Nature. The patterns occur naturally due to the presence of iron and manganese oxide Dendrites. Dendrites are the branch-like formations of manganese oxide crystallising within the limestone.”

Beautiful aren’t they? There are about. Eight bits in the whole of the paved area, all different and all lovely. 🙂
