Life Cycle
The life cycle of a plant begins with the immature seed germinating. The process of germination can be viewed in my previous blog post about it. The seedling then grows thorough adulthood (the stage at which my plants are currently in). The plant will then flower and die, or flower, then fruit, then die. Plants which flower then die are shrubs, trees, and flowers. Plants which also fruit are my baby corn and carrot plants. Both due after this stage and the seeds left behind will continue the cycle again.
