Intro Para 2

In Spring 2018, as part of the Writing in Biology Course at Umass Amherst, students had to complete the Methods Project. The students had to partner up to follow each others’ methods. The methods were the steps needed in order to create a figure with three panels. The panels had to include an image of a flowering plant, a close-up of the flower or flowers of the plant, and a map of the native origins of the plants. I chose to do the figure on a flower called Camellia Japonica. The reasons for the choosing the selected flowering plant include its location and appearance. The plant was easy to access because of its location on campus which was the Durfee Conservatory. The plant was easy to find within the conservatory due to its bright pink flowery look that stood out to the eye.
