Blog 9: Plant ID and Group Check-In

Scientific name: Asplenium Septentrionale
Common name: Northern Spleenwort

I found this growing on a rock in between Owen and Turlington Residence Hall. The Northern Spleenwort normally grows in clusters. It can be grown in soil or on rocks. The leaves can be simple or have 1-2 forks on them. It also appears to look grass-like. The Northern Spleenwort is brown at the base and green on top.

Group Check-In

Gracie, Branch, and I met on Friday, October 28 from 12-12:30. I think we all enjoyed the break-baking activity even though not all of us had the best outcomes. Neither I nor Gracie enjoyed the insect photos because we did not like getting super close to the bugs to take pictures. We all have been enjoying the blog posts and find the activities fun because it forces us to try new things that we otherwise might not do.
