They grow to about three feet tall with long thin light green leaves that have a sharp apex (point) at the end. Numerous drooping bell shaped flowers are found on a Yucca plant with each one holding a hardened capsule full of seeds; these are dispersed by the wind. Wind dispersal is not the only way for the Yucca to reproduce; they also have a unique rhizomatous
Anemones Anemone comes from anemos, the Greek word for wind, thus giving Anemone the name wind flower. The genus Anemone consists of 120 species of perennial flowering plants, which grow from tubers. Anemones grow wild in many European countries, in North America, and Japan. Anemones are closely related to Pasque flower (Pulsatilla) and Hepatica (Hepatica); some botanists include both of these genera within the genus Anemone. The Anemone meaning wind flower, which signifies that the wind that blows the petal open will also, eventually, blow the dead petals away; are perennial herbs with an underground rootstock, and radical, more or less deeply cut leaves.

The first group is its Domain. The Domain in which it falls under is Eukarya, this is because an artichoke is a plant and plants cells have a nucleus (http://bioweb.uwlax.edu, Name that artichoke). Then it falls under the Plantae Kingdom. And the Order it goes under is Asterales, there are actually 26,000 species of plants that are in this categories (http://bioweb.uwlax.edu, Name that artichoke).

The Persimmon Taste The fruit that I choose is persimmon. There are two kinds of persimmons; Fuyu and Hachiya persimmon. Fuyu is hard like an apple while Hachiya tastes like chalk, and it tastes different than Fuyu does. Persimmon has a light yellow-orange tone when it has ripened. Persimmons are not berries, in fact they look like small-size pumpkin.
Buckwheat is a broadleaf plant native to northern Asia. Seeds are brown in colour, close to the size of a soybean, but irregularly shaped, with four triangular surfaces. The seeds germinate and emerge rapidly when planted in warm soil, typically in three to four days. Plants grow rapidly, producing small heart-shaped leaves with hollow stems. Flowering begins about three weeks after planting, and proceeds for a few weeks, before gradually tapering off as the plant matures.
