TREC Virtual Base Camp _ Ask the Teacher (Kevin) or the Scientist (Mike) _ Color and Brightness of Flowers

Posted by: Janet_Warburton Jun 19 2006, 05:26 AM

Hi Kevin!

What a great hike you did on your return home! Very pretty.

Flowers in the arctic - although very small, always seem very bright and colorful....
So, why would flowers in the arctic be so small yet be so rich in color?
Does anyone know?

Hi Janet. I have a hypothesis about the size of the flowers. Does little to no sunshine in the winter effect the size of plants and flowers in the arctic? Is cold weather also a factor?
