Characters and Traits
Here's what I found on my hike in Strawberry canyon. The Periwinkle was one of the species we looked at in class -- it is a dicot because it has an uneven number of petals. The Scotch Broom is in the pea family because it has irregular petals. The tree with white flowers is another dicot with five petals.
