    Thanks!

    The willow is still considered a flowering plant. It just does not have petals, but it has flower, it would be considered an apetalous flower 🙂

    I think it’s very interesting to see how everyone did their keys differently. Some focused on leaves, while others focused on flowers or the type of plant. Yours would work just fine to key out the 4 bins

    I really liked how your key went backwards from mine, starting with flowers. Then, you get to the end without even mentioning the needles. Cool change in perspective!
