Gabby,

Great job!
Interesting theme... the ever-present MP3 player!
Actually the tendril of the plant is a really cool adaptation. It's a modified stem that now can wind around to anchor a plant as it vines up a support.. like growing up on another plant.
A few of you have chosen a plant's growth towards the light as an adaptation of a plant. You've got to be VERY careful here. The ABILITY to do that in the plants of that species is the adaptation. An individual plant's growth towards the light is a response to the environment, not an adaptation. An adaptation is a genetic change that has helped survival in a species and can be passed on.
Did that endotherm LIKE listening to the music as much as the endotherm taking the photos??
I ABSOLUTELY love the daylily as an example as a hermaphrodite.
Again, GREAT job!
