Skittles and Starbursts have many similarities and differences. They are both very vibrant and sweet with fruitful flavor but Skittles have a hard shell while Starbursts is fruit chews.

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
Bodark The bodark tree (Maclura pomifera) is a common tree in Arkansas, known to live in at least forty-seven of the state’s seventy-five counties. The name “bodark” is a slurring of the French “bois d’arc,” meaning “wood of the bow”—a reference to the Osage Indians’ practice of making bows from the tree. The Osage connection survives in another common appellation, Osage orange, which refers to the unique fruit of the tree, as do other names, such as horse apple and hedge apple. Native to the area encompassing Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas, the bodark tree was among those described by William Dunbar of the http://www.encyclopediaofarkansas.net/encyclopedia/entry-detail.aspx?entryID=2205Hunter-Dunbar Expedition while proceeding to the Ouachita River. French explorers had already encountered the Osage using the wood of the tree to make longbows and various other weapons.
Biology Gynoecium: - The gynoecium (from Ancient Greek γυνή, gyne, meaning woman, and οἶκος, oikos, meaning house) is a term with several meanings in botanical usage. In reference to mosses, liverworts and hornworts,gynoecium refers to a cluster of archegonia and any associated modified leaves or stems present on agametophyte shoot. More commonly, gynoecium refers to the ovule-producing part of a flower. The gynoecium is typically the innermost whorl of structures in a flower and is surrounded (in perfect flowers) by the androecium (stamens) and (in complete flowers) by the perianth (petals and sepals). The gynoecium is often inaccurately [clarification needed] referred to as female because it gives rise to female (egg-producing) gametophytes.
Bordeaux is one of the largest wine producing regions in France, in fact it is about five times larger than Burgundy, allowing Bordeaux to produce a variety of different grapes and wines. There are many different regions in Bordeaux, each known for producing a different type of wine, but there are two wines, in particular, that Bordeaux is known for: Sauvignon Blanc, a white wine, and Cabernet Sauvignon, a red. LaMar describes Sauvignon Blanc as “always tangy, tart, nervy, racy, or zesty” and it is also known for its fruity and dryness. It is a greenish grape produced in a few of the appellations in Bordeaux, such as Entre-Deux-Mers, Pessac-Leognan, and Graves. Although all three regions are producing the same time of wine, elemental factors, such as soil and altitude,
The Maidu and Pomo principally ate acorns, which have a higher calorie rating than wheat. They pounded the hard nuts with stones and washed out the bitter taste with water. The Pomo crafted what were arguably the finest baskets in all of indigenous America. They made baskets as small as a thimble and as big as a yard in width. They made watertight baskets for cooking acorn mush and seed gruel, as well as for carrying and storing food.
There are 900 mainly perennial species. From plants that are climbers, sub-shrubs, or plants that stems are like bamboo. Begonias vary in characteristics but most have lop- sides, ear- shaped leaves with beautiful markings. The plant flower in clusters with four to five petals. The Begonia was named after Michel Begon (1638-1710).

The trees have adventitious roots that bud out from the trunk, and the female trees appear to bear pineapples. The pineapple –like flower is actually made up of a cluster of seeds or keys that range in color from reddish to bright orange to golden. The male trees are called hinano (Hawaiian word), and usually have less leaves, and have a much more fragrant flower. The leaves of the hala tree are long and skinny with thorny edges and midribs along the base. Most of the leaves are green, but there are some hybrid species now with yellow and green striped
