Valencia, 1813 The aroma of freshly peeled oranges drifted through the cramped space of the flower shop, moonlight streaming gently from a nearby window. María couldn’t tear her eyes away from Noelle’s fingers. Sharp nails–like talons, she thought–cut deftly underneath the fruit’s soft rind, filling the air around them with fresh, crisp perfume. When the peel fell to the floor, all Maria could look at was the pulp gathered under the woman’s fingernail. “You’re quiet, mon chérie.” Her voice was

The common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris, is a widely eaten food that is high in digestible fiber (crude fiber). The purpose of this study was to evaluate three different breeding methods (bulk-population, bulk within F2 families, single seed descent) for the genetic potential of the progeny, for the trait of crude fiber. The majority of the sources of variation, besides for the parents and parents by environment interaction, were found to be significant at a P < 0.01 level between the three breeding

Water hyacinth is a plant species native to South America that has been introduced to some parts of the western United States, and has not ceased to wreak havoc since. The recent droughts in California have not seemed to help the situation, and the aquatic plant is a relentless pest that refuses to yield to any attempts at extermination. The state of California has spent millions of dollars in an effort to eradicate the invasive species, however water hyacinth shows no signs of leaving any time soon

Question: What is time? Stimulus: On November 24, 2013 an episode of Family Guy came out where the family’s dog Brian Griffin, was hit by a car right in front of his best friend Stewie Griffin, and died.

Age is only how you choose to feel. When surrounded by a natural, fresh aired atmosphere, age seems to be a factor. Observing a park setting and keeping in mind that factor, it suddenly brings a level of enlightenment for those that observe. The observation leaves a lingering question once it is evaluated, being; what is the behavioral differences between adults and children while at the park?; A person’s age determines the main activities and behaviors they engage in at a public park. As an observant

Permanence in Nature In the poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay,” Robert Frost examines the idea that everything in nature and life is temporary. This poem analyzes the concept that things in nature are born and fade away so that the next cycle can take it’s place. Frost uses poetic elements such as images, figures of speech, and the setting of his poem to prove to his readers that everything, including themselves, is temporary and replaced, and, therefore, moments should not be taken for granted. The

Conclusion: Asian ginseng did affect the germination of the sunflowers seeds. We believe the germination of the sunflower seeds were affected by the nitrogen containing compounds that are found in the roots of Asian ginseng. Question??? Methods 25 sunflower seeds were divided into 3 different petri dishes. 2 of the petri dishes were soaked in water, and the third was soaked in liquid Asian ginseng, for 5 minutes. The seeds of each individual petri dish were placed, wrapped and rolled in 3

The Venezuelan avocado grows oblong, blooming viridescent at the swell and contorting its body at an 80 degree angle; the flesh appears to convulse. Dreaming, Lucia saw a field of cicadas washed pale. The pit pulses. “—poor Sasha. Poor girls.” His collar twitched against his neck, rows of anchors raising and dropping when his vowels dipped or jaw stretched around his neckline. Ebbing. Lucia thought his coat was stupid. He flicked the knob of her cheek, “tus ojos son graciosos,” and stared at

“Scrap Scrap” said the tree as I was climbing up it. This was a big jungle tree about the size of a skyscraper. It grew tall it had slippery green moss on the side and had long branches the size of a huge limo, but I don’t know what that is because I have never seen one. I have lived in the jungle all of my life with just a van and a little bit of gas left in it, in the middle of nowhere and I can’t do anything about it. When I was little my parents had got divorced and I had to go to an orphanage

Navinika Moon was a teen photographer and her aesthetic was the lush forest near her small town of Morganville. She went there almost daily to take pictures of the beautiful trees and their golden leaves. The crisp sound of their crunch beneath her feet sent shivers down her spine. She pulled out her camera and set up her tripod to take time lapse photos of the leaves falling. She grabbed her bag and nestled down against a large cedar tree, she then pulled out her sketchbook and started to sketch

AFTER “386,059…” I walk over a branch of an oak tree, moss growing on the left side, still green. “386,059….” I kick a small rock, smooth on the bottom and sharp on the top. “386,059...” I'm off guard but I don't mind. I look to the side of the newly made trail, and A light gray, almost blue, hare hops to the green tree a few feet away. The hare makes a sharp turn of his neck and looks at me. Blue, the color of its eyes. I look for a quick second, staring back then proceeded to walk. “386,0-” “for

Pineapple is the most significant plant in the Bromeliaceae family. Bromeliaceae family is split into three subfamilies, which included Pitcairnioideae, Tillandsiodeae and Bromelioideae (Kuppusamy, 2012). Pineapple is included in the subfamily Bromelioideae, order Bromeliales, genus Ananas and species comosus. It is a perennial evergreen herbaceous and monocotyledonous fruit tree that produces one of the most famous tropical fruits besides maize, banana and citrus. The genus Ananas has distinctive

Leguminosae or Fabaceae family. It has seeds born in pods, compound leaves with numerous leaflets, and the roots are associated to bacteria that symbiotically fix nitrogen. This plant produce foliage and that are usually abundant in nitrogen compounds with a good indispensable amino acid composition. In addition. The plant provides food and good habitat protection for wildlife, and is browsed by both wildlife (white-tailed deer) and domestic (goats, sheep and cattle) ruminants, especially in periods

excessive moss, use a moss killer two to three weeks before scarification. The lawn should be newly mown and moderately wet to successfully scarify it. Use a hand spring bok rake or a powered scarifier. The goal is to tear up the thatch, dead grass plants and any weeds. The grass will usually suffer extensive visual damage after scarification. If bare patches occur, consider patching the areas by

Clover is an herbaceous perennial, a plant whose growth dies down annually but whose roots or other underground structures survive, that is a member of the legume family. Its native area is Midwest tall grass prairie. This Clover produces one stem that can grow up to a meter, are densely covered with fine hairs, and has a silver tint. Their leaves are pea-shaped, widely spaced throughout the stem, with three leaflets each, and also have a silvery tint. When this plant is mature, it produces pink flowers

that may have affected the results, that was beyond my control was temperature. Although all the seeds the seeds would have had the same temperature, the temperature was not consistent throughout the experiment. Plants thrive in hot and humid conditions, if the temperature is cold, the plants may not be able to germinate as well as in warmer conditions. An error that I made was probably my measurement increments. Although this did not affect the experiment it did have an effect on the results. The

maturity, the average number of blooms and pods per plant were also counted and recorded. The average number of fully opened leaves per plant were also recorded on the second and third weeks after the plants emerged. CO2 levels of the plants in an enclosed chamber and chlorophyll content of the plant’s leaves (measured in levels of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b) were recorded as well on the last week of measurement. Finally, pictures of the plants were taken after the measurements were made for us

Seed Dispersal Project by Ben Fesenmyer   Introduction   Plants make seeds to ensure the continuation of the species. The seeds that the plants make need to travel to get nutrients sunlight and water seed dispersal is how plants spread the seeds. There are 3 ways to spread seed by water by animals and by wind, in my project we are spreading seeds by wind. Wind dispersal is the most common method to spread seeds, the three main types of devices that carry seeds they are helicopter, glider and parachute
