Characteristics and Traits

On my walk through a small portion of Tilden Park, I noticed various plant species in bloom as well as insects roaming about. The insect that I found most interesting was the hover fly, which I noticed as it was flying still right in the middle of the path. The butterfly that I saw at the end of my walk was also interesting, as it was a blue color, almost never landed, and did not display its wings like I frequently see butterflies doing. The flowering tree that I was at the lake was also interesting, as its flowers were long and trumpet-like, and what appeared to be a protruding green stigma. I also saw the rose family bush with red fruit that we observed on our walk around campus. The bracken that I saw was also quite curious, as its leaves (?) were curled up around themselves, almost resembling caterpillars.
