iNaturalist Journal Entry #2: Steelhead Park
Traveling down the mountain towards vegetation of plants by water, I visited the LA river at the Steelhead location in Los Angeles. The flowers that were observed were Red amaranth, paper flowers, smart weeds, and mule fats. I noticed what was interesting was the difference of these flowering plants coming from the phylum Magnoliophta had similar characteristics to those in the alpine mountains however, were displaying signs as flower bearing plants. I believe because of the location and water source around plants were able to express their features a little more. An over viewing the following scholarly article it discusses the characteristics of flowering plants and how exposure to water within the plant and soil affect physiological process of plants.
