Methods Discussion

The majority of the differences in the two figures are in relation to the details of the flower on the plant. Based off of the fact that the images of the flower appear so different, along with the fact that the flower present in Fig. 1a is no longer present in Fig. 2, it becomes clear that the flower for Fig. 1 was no longer present at the time Fig. 2 was taken. This was the result of  a variable which was not controlled for, public access to the plant. Roughly one week passed between the taking of the two pictures, during which time the conservatory containing the plant was open for public access. In future experiments, it would be wise to pick a plant which had no chance of being tampered with.
