Marimo

Okay..
This post is about MARIMO
Friends of mine keep on asking what the heck is this..???
Why are u so obssessed about it....hehe**
So i will just write it out here what Marimo exactly is ^_^ Good enough?

So this is it~ MARIMO~!!!
Origin is from Japan,Hokkaido.


Whats so special about it?
There is a fairytale behind marimo balls. About 100 years ago, on the island of Hokkaido, there lived a young girl whose father was the head of a village near Lake Akan. The girl’s marriage had been arranged but unfortunately, she fell in love with a commoner and they ran away together. When the lovers reached Lake Akan, they jumped in. They then metamorphosed into little marimo balls and lived happily ever after.( every girls love fairy tales yet a beautiful one^^)

These round fuzzies are a type of algae with its' round shape formed by being pushed back and forth by the waves.
 It is a protected species and considered a National Treasure of Japan.
 It only grows 5mm a year or maybe even more if provided with the ideal environment, the biggest recorded in the wild is 30cm which would be around 60 years old or even more.
 I read somewhere that they can grow up to 100 years
