Characters and Traits

This week I tended to focus most of my observations on flowering plants characteristics. The relevant observations were French Broom, Western Blue-eyed Grass, California Poppy, and a yet-to-be identified plant species with these identified species varying between 4-6 flowering pedals. For the California Poppy, I observed four tangerine-colored pedals with a palmate simple leaf phenology. The Western Blue-eyed Grass shares a similar leaf phenology to the California Poppy, though it has six purple pedals to its flower instead of four orange like the Poppy.The French Broom has simple, alternating oblong leaves with a four pedal yellow flower. The last of my observations that I have to identify appears to have alternating, simple serrated leaves with a spiky stem and a solitary purple flower.
