Hi Lissa –
Too bad that Vancouveria hexandra isn’t in bloom right now – it’s a cool flower! It’s a lot like my favorite flower (shooting star)! You got the roots, though, which we don’t often see. Next time, flip a leaf so we can see the backside – that’s often interesting too!
I’ve never seen Maianthemum before – very nice job in getting the raceme! Was the Lonicera young, that you didn’t see flowers? Or am I just missing it (wouldn’t be the first time)? Orange honeysuckle is still in bloom here in Everett. If the plant is young, of course it won’t be in bloom. If it WAS in bloom but this stalk wasn’t, I would be okay with it if you grab a couple flowers, press them, and present them on the voucher with the veg. It’s an option for you in the future.
Your vouchers and labels are neat and complete, and I like that you presented plants I don’t get to see often! Great job!
