Questions for my Botany students
In what part of the country is this Oak found?
Name at least three other kinds of Oak trees.
Maples have flowers. Who knew? Oh wait, Sam Hammer did! Actually, we all did however, until this class; we just did not know it. The leaves are a good example of parallel venation and as seen here, the flowers are showing the stamens. I wonder if to some degree the petals have minute amounts of chlorophyll because of their pale green color. Once fertilized, they will produce the fruit and the helicopter seedpods I remember as a kid.
Orchids are considered to be the most evolved of all plants. Most are epiphytes, a few are lithophytic. Growing orchids can be very difficult since naturally, orchid seeds must grow in association with symbiotic fungi.
Their aerial roots are coated with velamen, a thin layer of cells that helps the plant absorb water from the atmosphere.
The sun makes an appearance in the horizon as it sets under a thick blanket of clouds, lighting up the shores of Bare Island.
