Hey Adalynn! It's interesting that the other plants had more pollinators on them. Can you think of a reason why that was the case? What made the two plants different?

That's a beautiful plant! You mentioned that it smells sweet and that bees and flies pollinate it. Based on this information, what time of day do you think it smells the strongest? What do you think would happen if it smelled musty or spicy instead of sweet? Or had no smell at all?

Hi Leo, cool picture! You mentioned that you only saw one bug - what did it look like? What color was it? Did it have wings, or was it crawling around?

Those are some pretty flowers! You mentioned that your plant never had any pollinators. Do you remember what time it was when you took this photo? Can you try visiting this plant again at a different time of day to see if it has any pollinators?
