Houghton Garden Walk, Thursday Oct. 24 2024

Today I walked the around the Houghton Garden again. The weather has gotten very warm recently, which I did not expect for this time of year, but it was nice. The theme for today's walk was plants. I first encountered moss on the rocks along the river which makes sense since they live in damp areas. I also know moss are bryophytes meaning that they have gametophyte dominant life cycles. Another interesting find were the Pokeweeds. Pokeweeds actually have visible berries, which makes them angiosperms since they produce seeds enclosed within a fruit. My guess is that these seeds are dispersed by the birds that eat these berries.
