This assignment was really tough, because it was hard to find some of the plant species such as sunflower (I'm not positive if mine is such) and the pea family plant and the irregular flower (such as a potted orchid).

However, my sister and I had fun bonding while searching for plants. It was a challenge, but as a college student I welcome challenges. This made me much more aware of not only my surroundings on campus (as, quite frankly, every homework has) but it also made me realize the vast variety of plant life that I've been researching, observing, and posting about all semester. Just when you think you identified something accurately, you find out there's a whole other category to explain.

My favorite part of the assignment was finding the monocot and dicot plants. I remember learning about those in high school biology -- like, the differences between the two. But it was great to finally get out in nature and witness firsthand the difference with my own eyes (or, really, with my iPhone camera).

(This is Homework 4, due March 21. It's an hour late because I was at the Sharks-Kings hockey game all night, but uploaded as soon as I got home. The pictures were taken ahead of time).
