Homework 2: Phenology Exercise

This flowering plant exemplifies flowering phenology because it has blossomed flowers and unblossomed flowers on one plant. In one part of the plant, the unflowered part is accompanied by other unflowered parts. On the other end of the tree, more flowered parts are blossomed. I wonder if the different timing of blossoming has something to do with the movement of the sun and the potential intensity it may have on one side as opposed to the other.

Homework 3: Chaparral and Moist Evergreen Forest

It seems that all of these plants adapted to the dried environment and are very small in size because of the amount of water available to them.
