Journal Entry - Ashley

The Shrubby Cinquefoil (aka Dasiphora Fruticosa) is a flowering plant in the Rosaceae family, found in the Angiosperm clade of the Plantae kingdom. It is a eukaryotic organism that is also classified as a seed plant (produce their own seeds).

Angiosperms share many common adaptations in history, including the change in reproduction methods. Since the seeds of water plants were transported through the water current, the plants on land had to adapt. Flowers began to grow on certain plants to attract bee colonies for pollination, which does not require water for the reproduction process to work.

Native to Mexico and the United States, Garden Cosmos have adapted their leaves and petals to survive in areas experiencing high winds. The thin leaves on the Cosmos help prevent the plant from being blown away by the wind, along with their ridged petals, which help create drag.
