Description

The size of this plant was about 6in off the ground, the leaves were bright green and the stem was grayish/purple/black. The characteristic that made me believe this is a plant is the green leaves. I am unsure of the organism but I believe that it is some sort of weed that was growing out of soil. I am unaware of the correct geographic distribution at this moment.

I found this daisy right outside the front of the MSC. The daisies have white petals and a yellow center. There were two full grown flowers and a couple buds at the base of the band. Each flower has 5 petals and is approximately 4-5 inches (stem included). I'm not sure if this is what I'm supposed to write here... I'm confused by what fields mean and what fields we are supposed to include in our Bio lab posts.
