Nanogardens

All of the flowers are crystals of silicon and minerals. Wim Noorduin sculpts the stems and blossoms by tweaking the environment in which the crystals grow.

Engineers at Harvard University have figured out a way to make microscopic sculptures of roses, tulips and violets, each smaller than a strand of hair.
This  gallery of tiny 'nanoflowers' grown on the surface of pennies and glass. They're not actually flowers though, they just look like them. In reality they're microscopic bits of carefully grown crystals. "Like meth." Exactly like meth.
There are roses that would make a perfect corsage for Abraham Lincoln's jacket lapel on the penny.
