Maddie –
Take a look at some of the keys your classmates have submitted, and look at the Rubric for the assignment again. You don’t have primary-level couplets here, and it’s not organized as expected.
When one branch of your Couplet doesn’t resolve to a plant, you need to tell the reader to go to the next couplet… and you can’t do that if you have two couplets called “a”. Instead, one couplet would be labeled A and A’, the next would be labeled B and B’, the next C and C’, etc. For example, if A resolves to a specimen but A’ does not, you would tell the reader to go on to Couplet B (eg: A’ – Plant with glitter –> B).
Also, plant 4 does have flowers. There’s something which distinguishes them from Plants 2 and 3 – it’s subtle, but it IS there. You actually touch on it when describing your plant with flowers. What do they have that Plant 4 does not?
You do describe a unique characteristic in your couplets, which is good. Keep it nice and simple.
Please try again – you can edit your submission, I believe. And go ahead and look at your classmates’ submissions.

I uploaded an edited version. Sorry for my lack of understanding on the first attempt! I rewatched the video and understood it much better!
