Homework 5- Characters and traits

My observations included macro shots of leaves/flowers that can be found living within the midst of moderate ocean spray. These plants have developed different methods to survive in this environment. While many of these plants continue to flower in order to attract insects, the structure of their leaves vary widely. My favorite is that of the Hottentot-Fig, which has robust leaves that are adapted to hold large amounts of excess water.
