What the ???? is this on my Windelov?

[Sharnbrook Shrimp]

They are tiny little balls that are stuck to only some of the leaves, they come off, they are quite hardish but can be squashed, about 1mm in diameter?

Is that the original position of the lumps in the upper photo ?

Might be new plantlet spores i guess.

Hi, ya it's what was on the leaves, are you sure it's plantlets, never seen the like oin windelov before

Is that the original position of the lumps in the upper photo ?

only on one plant and towards the leaf tips as in pic, I stupidly cut the leaves off worrying they were algae???

any one know exactly what they are or why they form, as they don't look like the usual little plants forming on leaf tip,

they also come off in little balls if you rub them

Hi all,
It is a Cyanobacteria, probably a Nostoc spp.
