Introduction
As a beginning, I wanted to get the images from the Ray Ethan Torrey Botanical Collection at the Morrill Greenhouses being that I have passed by a countless number of times in the past two and a half years. Being from a part of Central America, I was determined to get a plant that was native to either Central America or the upper regions of South America. In addition, I want a plant that is distinct in that it contains few flowers with distinct features as oppose to a plant with multiple flowers surrounding the plant itself, which would make it difficult to pinpoint the specific flower that will be individually photographed. A plant potted on the floor or on a shelf mid-height will enable others with shorter statures to have easy access over high-hanging ceiling or wall plants.
The botanical collection will be best illuminated at around mid-day when the sun is the highest entering the windows on the top of the greenhouses. Both images of my figure will be taken at the same time to minimize discrepancies between them as well as same height, although different angles will be needed to get a more in-depth view of the plant. Both images taken on a vertical axis as oppose to horizontal. The range figure will be taken off a website where marking the range is simple with little no to chance of error.
The images itself will be labeled A, B and C on the upper left-hand corner of each. The multi-panel figure itself being build using an online source with the images of the flowers itself above and below one another with the close-up being below the further image. These two will be on the left of the range map which will serve the same height of both plant images to make a larger square.
