Yeah mine too till I dropped and broke mine. It was getting very cool looking and finally stopped leaking. Oy. Still lamenting that one, but I'm working on getting a new one soon.

There's no comparison, the wet leaf is much more interesting. It has come alive again from it's dormant state to reveal it's beauty in glistening glory.
