The Habits Of Common Camas

Eastern cottonwood trees are dioecious, meaning there are male and female trees producing flowers, though the female trees are the ones

Stems:The relatively thick flowering stem up to 3 cm across is erect or upright direction and grows 2-6 m tall. They are hollow and greyish-green to yellowish-green in colour.

Then flower clusters are produced from the upper leaf axils. Populations tend to flower synchronously, with individuals producing a single flowering stem 2-3 m tall after 7-15+ years in a vegetative state and then die off (http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/findapark/jennings/). The American Columbo is an endangered plant species in Pennsylvania. Jennings has one of the few substantial populations in the state. The cycle of Columbo is unusual and not well understood. This mysterious plant blooms once in its lifetime then dies. The staff at Jennings’s continues its research to prevent the American Columbo’s disappearance from Pennsylvania. It persists as a rosette of 3-30 basal leaves for 5-15 years or more, finally bolting as a flowering plant that becomes 3-8' tall for a single season, and then dying. The basal leaves are up to 14" long and 4" across; they are oblong-elliptic to broadly oblong-elliptic in shape and smooth along their margins. The upper surfaces of the basal leaves are medium green and glabrous with prominent central veins; they are deciduous. The central stem of a flowering plant is light green to purple, glabrous, terete,

Another important species that live in the California Floristic Province is the weeping myall (Acacia pendula). It is a tree that can grow up to 12 m high. It is an important tree due to its hard, close grain, dark colour and heavy weight wood,

The Tampa Bay Lightning prepared for their moment to participate in Military Appreciation Day with a luncheon and military dress for the ice. On Thursday, November 10, the Lightning took on the N.Y. Islanders while hosting 2,500 service members and their families. As planned, the Lightning hit the ice skating arena wearing a unique and special military-style jersey http://islanders.ice.nhl.com/club/gallery.htm?id=65011&location=/photos&pg=1. This MARPAT design is well-known only to secret operations service members of the Armed Forces.

Naturalistic Observation – observing people in their natural setting. The advantages to his method are; realistic natural behaviours, low demand characteristics, can generate new ideas for research and test existing findings. However the disadvantages are; lack of control of variables, observer bias, limited to public places or certain types of behaviours, which may create ethical issues.

Forty young adults were observed at a gym located on a public university campus in the Southeastern United States. All participants observed were using a cross-trainer. Participants did not give consent to take part in the study. The behaviors observed in this naturalistic observation study are believed to reflect individual differences in participants’ perseverance, or their willingness to continue working toward a goal despite obstacles or setbacks. These behaviors were coded specifically as: MAN-SHORT, MAN-LONG, WOMAN-SHORT, and WOMAN-LONG. MAN-SHORT as coded when a male participant used the cross-trainer for less than 30 minutes. MAN-LONG was coded when a male participant used the cross-trainer for more than 30 minutes. WOMAN-SHORT was

The story in my photography may not be a sequential story, but has been an emotional and personal one. My experience with photography has been from both, the side of the viewfinder and the lens. Being the photographer, you get to see items from different angles and perspective and that's something I always try to practice. As a busy college student who juggles many tasks at once, I find it important to always take time to enjoy fresh air and look at the nature around me. When enjoying nature, taking a closer look at the flowers, trees, rivers etc. have always peaked an interest to me. With my photography, I noticed that I'm drawn to landscape photography because I try to capture that delicate, colorful, and peaceful view. The purpose of these

Lambs Ear- Lives in zones 4-10 6” to 8” high and likes full sun. It is drought tolerant and is a bedding plant which is why I chose it.

Like I previously mention the buckeye tree blooms early in the spring. Flowers are a white to yellow-greenish color and form in small clusters. Each flower will produce 1-2 seeds that will produce up to 5 nuts each inside the capsule. The capsule is a pale yellow color that is spiny. The tree is one of the earliest to lose their leaves in the fall turning to a nice yellow and red color before falling off.

Helenium autumnale or the Sneezeweed is native to Kansas, but can be found in most of the united states. Height of the plant can reach anywhere from three to five feet and spreading two to three feet. The Sneezeweed is a flowering perennial that has one to two inch yellow flowers with ray like petals. The plant blooms late in summer and into fall. Growing conditions for the Sneezeweed are in rich, wet soils and they cannot tollerate dry soils. The Sneezeweed also needs to be grown in full sun.

The seeds will be placed ½” under the soil and covered lightly with surrounding soil. The 12 pots will be placed in the tray equidistant from each other on a piece of felt. The felt needs to be fuzzy side up. Before placing the pots in the tray add about 100 mL of water in the tray and make sure the felt is most all across.The plants will be watered 500 mL of water every other day in the first 3 weeks of being planted. From week 4 to week 12 the plants should be watered at least 750 mL but it also depends on how dry the top soil in each pot is. Always feel the top soil of each pot before watering to be sure you do not overwater or under water the plants. On the weekends increase the amount of water poured in the

The traps will grow up to 3/8 of an inch long, and the plant will grow leaves that are longer, thinner and more upright to raise the traps higher into the air to help them catch their prey. It is also during the second or third year that the plant should be repotted, if it is being in a pot. In the third year, in the spring, the Venus flytrap will grow much larger. The traps will be about half an inch in size and will be able to catch ground-dwelling and flying insects such as flies, spiders and bees. It will grow to be about two inches in height and may begin to grow a long, thick flower stalk from the center of the stem that contain clusters of small, white flowers that usually bloom in May. The Venus Flytrap will reach maturity during the fourth to sixth year of its life. From this time onward, it will blossom every year. The flowers produce the seeds. It is also during this time that the plant will begin to split beneath the soil and produce new bulbs that can be repotted. A bulb can be planted in a one-plant pot, or two to three bulbs may be repotted in a larger pot. The Venus flytrap will grow even larger during the seventh year of its life, and in later years if it survives. Sometimes, traps can grow over an inch long. It may also continue to split and divide, producing larger bulbs each

Two will be the control with a normal period of vernalization at five weeks, two will be in a short vernalization period at three weeks, two will be at a relatively long period of vernalization at seven weeks, and two will be at the longest period of vernalization of nine weeks. The independent variable will be vernalization length, and the dependent variable will be the time it takes the plants to flower. The vernalization will occur at 4ºC. Otherwise; they will be grown at 23ºC. Before vernalization, they will grow at normal temperature for four weeks. Other constants include light, at 20-150 µmol/m2sec and humidity, at 55%. The plants will be grown in long day periods of fourteen hours of light, with dawn at 0600 hours and dusk at 2000 hours. For accurate results, the plants will be grown in a growth chamber. After their first vernalization, I will grow them at 23ºC for four weeks, then put them in a vernalization state again, but each for one less week than previously done. I will repeat this same process twice so that I can shorten the vernalization time again. Flowering time will be measured in days since initial planting to the first

They are not the tallest, the oldest, or the widest of living things, but they are the largest. General Sherman in sequoias National Park, California, is the largest of these trees with a diameter of over 36 feet and a height of 275 feet, the trunk volume alone is larger than 50,000 cubic feet. 11 blue whales is the equivalent of this one tree and could give enough lumber to build 75 five-room houses. While the winter cold has been suggested as the cause of the shrinkage of their original location, it is believed that grove boundaries are controlled by an interaction of soil moisture, temperature and other ecological factors affecting the seedling stage. Other than the leaves and the roots, the cambium layer is the only living part of the tree.
