Mont. Royal Journal Entry #1

The Pale Jewelweed comes from the family Balsaminaceae and the genus Impatiens. The most common ancestor is the Pale Snapweed and the Impatiens minor. These flowers are native to Canada and the US.

Almost all of my observations except the clover are relatively tall. This is potentially an adaptation to allow the plants to reach more sun, and to attract more pollinators with their flowers.

The Burdock plant has flowers that are surrounded by involucre - pointed and curved bracts that attach themselves easily to fur. This is an adaptation that allows the seeds to be carried and distributed short and long distances, so that it can grow and fertilize.
