What on earth?

mlefev · 08-30-2005, 08:13 PM

I have this stuff growing all over my anarchis...does anyone know what it is? I noticed a little of it, and now it's all over a few plants. If you dry it out it feels like horse-hair. Could it be some sort of seaweed? Algae? It's dark green, almost black, but very fine and fiber-like.
