Field Notes
Description:
A delicate pink garden rose, spotted early this morning still covered with dew. Cultivar/hybrid unknown.
Habitat:
Pubic garden on the shores of Lake Geneva
Notes:
Did you know? The sharp objects along a rose stem we call "thorns" are in fact prickles — outgrowths of the epidermis (the outer layer of tissue of the stem). Citruses, for example, produce true thorns, which are are modified stems. These always originate at a node, and have nodes and internodes along the length of the thorn itself.
