First, I traveled to the Durfee Conservatory located behind the Morrill buildings to find a plant to photograph. After walking through the first room of plants from the front of the greenhouse and into the second room, I began to assess which plant stood out to me the most. On the far left in the middle of the wall, I found a flowering potted plant. One type of flower was white and pink, and the other was light orange and pink. I used a ruler to measure the proportions of the different areas of the plant. The plant had thick stems approximately 25 centimeters long that were partially white. The leaves were approximately 20 centimeters and the flowers themselves varied in size but averaged at 12 centimeters. From the tag in the soil, which was placed backwards in the pot so that the name was not showing in the picture, I discovered that the plant was the Cattleya ‘War Paint’ flower. I then took two different pictures. The first was a picture of the entire plant and its pot and the second was an up close picture of a white and pink flower with some leaves and petals of other flowers in the background. I then left to create my figure at home.

I would use geographic directions as in North, South, East or West entrence as if there are multiple entrences, one can mistake that entrence for the "front" of they have never been to the Conservatory before.
