On the methods project -
This morning I went to the greenhouses that we have here at the university. The greenhouse I entered was called the “tropical garden” I believe. This is something that I will definitely have to double check. The species name of the flower I chose is: Haemaria discolor. If belongs to the genus: Ludisia and to the family or: Orchidaceae. It’s common name is the Jewel Orchid. It appeared to be in its optimal environment because it was in full bloom, looked very “plump” and healthy. It was definetly a beautiful flower and caught my eye because it closely resembles the flowers that grew near my childhood home (their species name is: Convallaria majalis, but most people know them as the Lily of the Valley). Another intriguing characteristic of these flowers were their leaves. They are about 3 inches long and are a deep green color with some hues of maroon. They also have white lines that run parallel to each other from the base of the leaf towards the peak. Their stem is long and thin and the flowers that have already budded are white with some type of yellow center.
