Pedunculate (stalked) pale pink or purple flower heads arise from the leaf axils in mid-summer with more and more flowers as the plant gets older. A single flower survives for less than a day, and usually dies completely by the next day. Flowers of M. pudica are very brittle and soft.
Trillium grandiflorum in the foreground and the smaller Thalictrum thalictroides in the background are both spring ephemerals of North American deciduous forests. An ephemeral plant is a plant with a very short life cycle or very short period of active growth, often one that grows only during brief periods when conditions are favorable.
It is a diaspore that, once mature and dry, detaches from its root or stem and rolls due to the force of the wind. In most such species, the tumbleweed is in effect the entire plant apart from the root system, but in other plants, a hollow fruit or inflorescence might detach instead. [ 1 ]
Dissolved salts become concentrated in the plant tissues as water evaporates. The trehalose produced by the plant acts in place of the evaporating water, so preventing the salts from causing damage and protecting against death due to an excess of salinity. S. lepidophylla also uses betaines, substances which have the same function as trehalose. [8]
Several flowers, hundreds of which comprise the inflorescence. It produces a stemless cluster of long, rigid leaves which end in a sharp point. The leaves are 20–90 centimetres (8– 35 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches), [5] rarely to 125 cm (49 in), long and 0.7–2 cm (1 ⁄ 4 – 3 ⁄ 4 in) wide, and gray-green in color. The leaf edges are finely saw ...

The papyrus plant is relatively easy to grow from seed, though in Egypt, it is more common to split the rootstock, [10] and grows quite fast once established. Extremely moist soil or roots sunken in the water is preferred and the plant can flower all year long. [11] Vegetative propagation is the suggested process of creating new plants.
Narcissus is a genus of perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes, which die back after flowering to an underground storage bulb.They regrow in the following year from brown-skinned ovoid bulbs with pronounced necks, and reach heights of 5–80 centimetres (2.0–31.5 in) depending on the species.
