Science Focus - Plants
How beautiful is a little green plant, a flower? I love sitting on a bench in the Drakensberg and watching over the beauty of nature. Where every flower looks different, every leave, every stalk etc.
Have you ever truly looked at a flower. How it is put together, the different, awe-inspiring colors?
What is the different parts of a flower?

- Make sure all the spots are covered.
- Use the sprayer to spray water over the seeds with an upward spray motion.
- Make sure you keep the house moist, warm, well lit and covered until all the grass has begun to grow.
- If you want to prevent mold make sure to keep the lid a little bit higher.
- If you regularly water the house it the water can grow for several weeks.
