My name is Stephanie Salmon. I used to live in San Francisco, until I was 3. When i was 3 I move to San Jose. I used to garden with my neighbor when i was younger. I sometimes will plant flowers during the summer, but most of the time they end up dying. I think that after this project I will have learned more about gardening, and maybe grow some of my own food in the future.
Blogpost #7 - Jolene Hayes Flowers in the Aster or Asteraceae family, including every dandelion species, have a flowered head. The base of the dandelion head is made up of involucre which is a bunch of green bracts. Ligules is what the petals of the dandelion flower are called. The fuzzy ring at the end of a flower is pappus. The pappus develops into a feather like seed. The traits of the pappus are what is needed to seperate the species in this family. There is a very tiny tube inside with nectar. The stigma grows up through the tube where the ovary and pollen are. It is protected by the anthers. The stigma can split in two at the end of it.
