Phenology Exercise

The first plant (February 12th, 2013) is a bare bush, and resembles a deciduous plant that loses its leaves in winter. The Polystichum munitium (January 25, 2013) shows leaves that are leafed out and is an evergreen fern. These plans exemplify leaf phenology, or the periodic life cycle of plans.

The Second plant (February 4th 2013) is bare and shows no flowering, so I am assuming the flowering will come later in their annual cycle. The Magnoliophyta (January 25th, 2013) shows a beautiful flower, meaning that it blooms around this time in their annual cycle.These plans exemplify flowering phenology.
