Phenology
For the flowering portion of this exercise, plants were fairly easy to find. During my walk earlier today, I saw a beautiful plant that was clearly fully flowering.
For the dormant portion, I used a different plant. My friend's house is naturally covered in Morning Glory flowers, which create a scatter of rich purple flowers amongst the bright green leaves and attract life such as butterflies as well. However, since it is currently winter, the flowers are currently MIA. [note: I'm not sure why my picture still says "processing" after so long, but it's just a picture of the plain green leaves without the flowers.]
For the leaf portion, I found one tree (currently yet to be identified) which was in a unique position - some of its branches are completely bare, while the branches higher up on the tree are covered in leaves. I am unsure what could be causing this trend but it is very interesting!

This tree currently appears quite bare, but if you look farther up, it has some leaves after all.

This plant, though never planted, grows ALL OVER my friend's house and had completely overtaken their roof and staircase. Although it usually has rich purple flowers, it is currently dormant.
