Tree Walk

For lab, our environmental science class took a tree walk around campus to see the different species of fauna located around Mercer University. I would like to highlight a few of the plants and trees that we observed.
First is the weeping willow. It's scientific name is Salix babylonica, which was classified by Carolus Linnaeus. It's branches droop which is why it is called the "weeping" willow. Often found in North America and Europe.

Larches are conifers with the scientific name Larix Pinaceae. Growing from 20 to 45 m tall, they are native to much of the cooler temperate northern hemisphere, and on mountains further south.

 The Mexican Petunia is a trumpet shaped flower with beautiful coloring. They thrive in warmer climates and can stand up to three feet.
