Hi!
My name is Ama Rose, and I grew up loving nature for its ability to make sense out of life and its many mysteries. Ive always been pretty obsessed with learning, and as I gain age I find that so many of the concepts I want to understand, can be found demonstrated, both simply, and with beautiful intricacy, in nature. A life of finding peace and grounding collecting rocks, and talking to trees, grew into a specified love for the plants themselves ,and ultimately, for the massive benefit to heart(joy) and health available in the discovered and to be discovered world of plants. Today I am striving to understand both the benefits of the plants and lands around me to myself, and my community ,and how I may be of benefit to the land in harmony with it.
Good evening Ama,
My first thought would be that the ‘B’ segment might not need to be diversified into two qualifiers given that with the images provided you can eliminate plant one with the first descriptor of ‘needles vs no needles’. Going further would be necessary if there was another plant of the four that had needles but no cones, but we only have one plant. But those same details actually work in your favor for describing the other plants along the dichotomous key, but the first one definitely can be left out. I would also add that the final two E and F are not choices between 2 items to eliminate something, they are just descriptors of the plants, so they aren’t necessary – you reached the final plant by getting to E, F is redundant. Overall, I think the choices you picked made it easy to distinguish which plants are being looked at and being described.
