StarLight,

There are a few white dots, visible up a little closer, in this attached pic. But they are still just white dots, and you can't really tell much about their structure. I think you would need a microscope to really study these things. Some day, I hope to get a digital microscope or a microscope that lets you attach a digital SLR, but that isn't going to happen anytime soon. I guess, for now, the white dots are just a mystery. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there is something about them in a botany book somewhere, but finding that info could be quite a challenge.
