NEW GROWTH LETS GO<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

After like three straight weeks of just a stick with beans on it, we are finally getting some growth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a diagram of the bean flower i pulled off the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A: Ovule: <\/strong>where the egg is stored and where the embryo grows<\/p>\n\n\n\n

B: Sepals: <\/strong>leaves that protect the flower<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C: Petal: <\/strong>attract pollinators with their beautiful colors and shapes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D: Carpel: <\/strong>female part of the flower. This includes the ovule, style , <\/strong>and stigma<\/strong>. Where female gametes are produced<\/p>\n\n\n\n

E: Pistil: <\/strong>the male part of the flower. Includes the anther <\/strong>and filament.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Diagram of a bean plant flower<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In my bean plant, the flowers are a blue\/purple and look like they should be insect pollinated: but they aren’t! They are actually self pollinating<\/strong>. When the flowers open, the anthers <\/strong>(where the pollen is) brush against the stigma <\/strong>(where the pollen needs to go to get to the egg). Cross-pollination is very rare!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The entire plant is leaning right now, I think it’s because it’s following the sun, so I moved it to more direct light. That’s an example of phototropism<\/strong>. Another tropism is geotropism<\/strong>: shoots grow up towards the sky and roots grow down towards the ground, regardless of orientation in response to the force of gravity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the last update on my bean. Very much a wild rollercoaster of events. Truly enjoyed the experience. Now that this project is over, I will be sinking my pearly whites into the fruits on my bean plant, and enjoying a delicious snack. CHOMP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
