Today in Class

Today in class I took data for my primrose but mostly I wrote observations instead of adding all my observations to the blog every day I have been writing them on a separate word document so today I'm going to write my observations from today.

Primroses with flowers
The primroses watered with tap water flowers are mostly normal and pink, but there are two with half the petals wilted, brown an soggy, and one with one petal all brown yellow. The leaves are all still green and aren’t tattered but the ones that were yellow when I bought it are brown at the top and are crinkled. The Primroses watered with pH 4 are in bad shape. All the flowers are brown and have only a little bit of pink left over on them. There is white fuzz on three of the petals. Surprisingly the leaves are ok considering the flowers are nearly dead. They are all green except for a bit of brown at the edge of two of the leaves. The primroses watered with pH 3 are doing much better then the primroses with pH 4. 5 of the flowers are still pink one of them is now sort of light purple and then one of them are all brown and drooping.

 Primroses with Removed Flowers
The primroses watered with tap water are doing really well the leaves are green and aren’t brittle or breaking. There are three full-grown flowers, two that are blooming, there are 5 little tiny buds that are still sealed shut, and two big tall buds that are beginning to open. The primroses with acid rain pH 4 have 3 flowers that are orange and slightly red. There are 4 sepals that flowers haven’t grown back into, on of them is brown and soggy in one section; one of them is growing white fuzz. Two of the leaves are brown and dark brown on the top of the edges, and another leave is splitting and has wholes in it. The one watered with pH 3 all the flowers that were here yesterday are all wilted and brown they are flopped over, limped and shriveled. The petals are really soggy and mushy. One flower is completely brown and it has white fuzz all up the top of the stem and on the petals. This primrose has tree tiny buds under all the leaves.
