The photographs included in the figure were of the flower Paphiopedilum maudiae, and the image taken from online was a map of the world that showed the borders of every country. I looked for the flower at the Durfee Conservatory and Gardens and chose this place because the conditions in a conservatory are kept constant and the flowers are organized and labeled. This would increase the probability that the two sets of photographs taken would be identical. I chose this flower because it has a very unique petal formation called a pouch. This distinct petal formation was very distinct in a room filled with flowers which made it stand out. This was also the only representative of this species of flower in the conservatory which made it stand out even more.
When constructing the figure I wanted it to show the flower close up, the picture of the entire plant from a distance, and a map showing the geographical range of the flower. I wanted the figure to be well organized but not be to complicated so that it could be replicated easily. When constructing the methods for the figure I tried to describe everything in as much detail as possible. I made sure to document all of the details that I could of where I took the photographs, when I took the photographs, and how I took the photographs. In addition, I tried to explain the formatting and process of making the figure in as much detail as possible. To make sure my methods consisted of this information I wrote down everything I did while making the figure.
