EDDsays..."The Lotus effect refers to the very high water repellency (superhydrophobicity) exhibited by the leaves of the lotus flower (Nelumbo). Dirt particles are picked up by water droplets due to a complex micro- and nanoscopic architecture of the surface which enables minimization of adhesion. The self-cleaning property of superhydrophobic micro-nanostructured surfaces was discovered in the 1970s and has been applied since the 1990s in biomimetic technical products."

As well as walls and other places Graffiti Artists like to paint...
