Oakley, Tree, Rayban, Tree...

Did you know:

In the riverine environment, there are good shades.

I can just imagine a leopard-crawling moss...

... But then I have a rather good imagination.

"When mosses crept on land they had to fight (ferns) for sunlight..."

Sex on the brain...

Did you know:

Ferns have "sexbags" called sori.

Secrete-ing a vote...

This was in an email sent to the entire university... Scary!

So on the 25^th and 26^th of August 2009, take a few minutes of your time to exercise your democratic right to choose your student representatives without fear and in secrete.

mmmm... I just love that tree smell!

Flowers are fragranted of trees to attract birds for seed dispersal

I neva new plants spoke Rasta?

An advantage of a plant developing a seed as opposed to a spore:

"The embryo become protected."

I half wanted to write "Mon" after it...

Excuse me while I cry about global warming...

"A spore is highly sensitive to environmental issues."

Maybe I just can't read...

Either that, or the student's handwriting is really really bad...

Did you know:
Marigold and Plumbago flowers are small in sice.

Apples and Oranges

• Oranges are "citral" fruits
• Bananas are formed by the "herb" floral structure
• Apples are "pomme" fruits
  
  
• Oranges, bananas and apples are all dispersed by Agriculturals.
  

Wow! I knew my heart was racing!

Stimulation of the sinoatrial node causes the heart to beat 70 times every 0.8 seconds!

I always knew I should eat more mushrooms...

Q: What is the biological function of a mushroom?

A: Mushroom has vitamin D so it prevents bone fractures. They break down organic material and recycle nutrients.

Lets hope swine flu doesn't get like this...

"You get antibiotic resistance in drugs and drugs become resistant."

Duck tails! WOOhoo!

When quizzing a student about duckweed selection criteria for population growth experiments:

EEbEE: How did you standardize plant selection?

Student: We chose duckweed with equal sized tails...

(got this answer from TWO students!)

Three cheers for the beginning of a new semester!!!
