I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to collect, but then we got rained out and had to pack up camp. Luckily, I may have captured enough various Alaskan plants over the summer, so I think I made it work well enough. I was unsure about a …
7/9/24 Update: After walking around Anchorage for a good two hours, I finally found a plant with siliques down by Chester Creek. I am still working on finding a silique example in the real world. For the porate anther dehiscence, that’s a mallow. I couldn’t actually see the anthers on …
Each plant pictured I either have growing in my garden or found within walking distance of the house!
I was only able to find 7/9 of the terms near me. Images for the diadelphous and the inferior ovary were sourced from https://www.treehugger.com/how-to-grow-potatoes-5186797 and https://www.themeateater.com/wild-and-whole/learn/how-to-clean-and-cook-squash-blossoms respectively.

Hopefully al my pictures come out clear, it has been pretty crazy where I am right now due to a wild fire so my choices for flowers were pretty slim due to me not really being able to explore.
I challenged myself to do this on campus, which was both easy (because there are many cultivated flowers), and difficult (as some of them are not very familiar to me). I’m not sure if bunchberry is really actinomorphic or not.
Most of these are photos I took myself, besides a couple that I couldn’t find examples of. I hope my photos are clear enough to see all the relevant plant parts.
