Phenology Exercise

Attached to this journal are photos of three plants: one that is leafed out, one that is still dormant (bare), and one that is with no flowers (bare). The leafed-out tree seems to be well into its efforts towards leaf production - its leaves were strong, nearly all fully green, and well-developed. Its leaves are growing upward in clusters from the main branch pictured. The plant that is still dormant (bare) has no leaves, flowers, or other visibly green material - it has not yet put energy into growing these parts this year. The plant that is with no flowers (bare) is a blackberry bush that has fully developed leaves but no flowers or berries. It is likely waiting for a shift in climactic conditions before it begins to produce fruit.
