Birdsfoot trefoil is a moderately long-lived herbaceous perennial legume. It has a well developed, branching, tap-like root with side roots near the soil surface. Most cultivars are erect and
grow to a height of 2 to 3 feet. The stems are slender, branch well, and are moderately leafy. Leaves are smooth and consist of 5 leaflets. The bloom is made up of a cluster of bright yellow flowers arranged in a whorl at the end of the flowering stems. When ripe, the brown seed pods extend outward from the stalk
and look like a bird's foot. The plant remains green and succulent during and after seed ripening.

Stamens:
Each angiosperm, or flowering plant, grows in a singular form that distinguishes it from other plants. The lily’s structure evolved to attract insects that are active when it blooms. As the lily bud ripens, six long, pale filaments rise from the meristem, or base of the flower. As they grow, they each broaden into two long chambers at the top, completing the stamen's structure. Within those chambers, cells divide and create sporogenous matter. This matter creates sticky orange, brown or black pollen, which contains sperm, destined for the adjoining pistil or an ovary of a neighboring flower. As the flowers open, two chambers, called anthers, teeter atop the stamen’s filaments, producing pollen that coat their exteriors. Take care: Lily pollen stains easily and, with other parts of the plant, causes digestive upset in humans and renal failure if ingested by cats.
Measuring Success:
Each lily flower has six stamens and one pistil. There may be as few as three or four giant blooms on an oriental or Aurelian lily -- or dozens on a martagon or tiger lily. In a thick stand of lilies, fertilization may be highly successful, producing three-part pods on more than half of the flowers, each chamber containing a viable seed. Where only a few plants grow, less seed will develop, but all seeds will grow in three-part pods. Once eggs begin developing, pollen production ceases and remaining pollen dries up on the anthers. Stamens whither and drop away from the growing seed pod along with the sepals and petals.

Physalis peruviana, is a South American plant native to Colombia, Ecuador and Peru in the nightshade family (Solanaceae), commonly known as Cape gooseberry or goldenberry, known in its countries of origin as aguaymanto, uvilla or uchuva, in Hawaii called poha, and in Egypt called Harankash, in addition to numerous indigenous and regional names. The goldenberry is also known as ground cherry. [2][3][4] The history of P. peruviana cultivation in South America can be traced to the Inca Empire.[5][6] It has been cultivated in England since the late 18th century, and in South Africa in the Cape of Good Hope since at least the start of the 19th century.[2] Widely introduced in the 20th century, P. peruviana is cultivated or grows wild across the world in temperate and tropical regions.[3]

Gaillardia /ɡeɪˈlɑrdiə/,the blanket flowers, is a genus of flowering plants in the sunflower family, Asteraceae, native to North and South America. It was named after an M. Gaillard de Charentonneau, an 18th-century French magistrate who was a patron of botany. The common name may refer to the resemblance of the inflorescence to the brightly patterned blankets made by Native Americans, or to the ability of wild taxa to blanket the ground with colonies. Many cultivars have been bred for ornamental use.
These are annual or perennial herbs or subshrubs, sometimes with rhizomes. The stem is usually branching and erect to a maximum height around 80 centimeters. The leaves are alternately arranged. Some taxa have only basal leaves. They vary in shape. They are glandular in most species. The inflorescence is a solitary flower head. The head can have 15 or more ray florets, while some taxa lack any ray florets. They can be most any shade of yellow, orange, red, purplish, brown, white, or bicolored. They are sometimes rolled into a funnel shape. There are many tubular disc florets at the center of the head in a similar range of colors, and usually tipped with hairs. The fruit usually has a pappus of scales.
