I took this photo in my mom's garden, the reason i took it is because there signs that spring has arrived. The purple flowers are crocuses or its scientific name crocus sativus, and is one of the early flowers of spring. Also, the snow drop flowers that are white with green stems also pop up in early spring. Its scientific name is Galanthus. Sadly, there are no leaves on the small tree but they should start coming very soon!
Today I made a bird feeder out of a plastic bottle and wooden spoons. I hung it on a tree and waited. It has been hours and no birds. The bird I am most expecting is the American Robin or Turdus migratorius Hopefully they will come by soon. -E.O.This is a moth orchid flower in my living room. It's scientific name is "phalaenopsis". This orchid has very elegant pedals and design. This flower also has a ability to grow brand new phals along it's stem. It's scientific name means comes from the Latin word "phal", meaning "moth" and "opsis" meaning "appearance". the scientist who came up with this scientific name thought that the orchid looked like two moths in flight. Lastly, moth orchids can get sunburned just like humans do if they get exposed to too much light, making this flower very delicate. -DS
