Angled pod milkweed ... found.

Still waiting on picture posting / memory problem ... it continues ...

Juniors will be out of school to the Lincoln movie on Wednesday.

In genetics, we finished our restriction enzyme lab today.  Tomorrow, we will be finish our fastplant / Hardy Weinberg Lab by counting our F2 plants.  We will be checking to see if the gene frequency stayed the same from one generation to the next.

In Selected Topics, we worked on plant taxonomy,  milkweed ecology and watched a short film on pollinators.  Tomorrow we are going to the Mac Lab to do some research for our Milkweed Ecology Lab on Thursday.

We have a couple of students that are finished with the last set of Microsoft Visual BASIC problems and are working on their final projects.  We will start checking problems on Wednesday.  Student generated projects will be due during finals.

Got in a walk after school to Long Creek ... found two angled pod (climbing) milkweed plants.  I collected some of the pods for seed and will start them in the greenhouse for our pollinator project in the Spring.  Picture of climbing milkweed below ... http://extension.missouri.edu/p/ipm1021-6

Sorry about no picts ... maybe the memory problem will be resolved soon.

Seeing if this pict stays ... by copy/drag from the website above.
