Plant samples

I will be out identifying collection sites for some of the plant samples this weekend.  We should have a big enough class that two students will test the same plant sample. 

When you email me your three top plant requests also post your requests here on the blog.  I will add a post here to let everyone know who has what plant and I will reply individually when I assign you one of your top three choices. 

Fastest to reply have the best chance of getting their first choice.

    The first 5 to reply have their #1 choice. Jeanette, you have your second choice.

    Lavender is no longer available as a request. Later today I will send out emails confirming your plant and with the plant sample research document attached.

    Very interesting to peer into the nocturnal habits of my students newly introduced to the hormone melatonin:)

    Thyme and Nasturtium are no longer available for your top three choices.

    TEA TREE: I have not located a reliable source of the Australian tea tree. I will try through the weekend. If I cannot find the correct type of tea tree, you will test your second choice even if that plant sample is closed. I will accept your research on tea tree.

    Remaining plant samples include: oregano, tea tree, olive, stinging nettle, pine, garlic, lemon peel and redwood.

    Whoot! I found some tea tree, or at least I am 90% confident that it is tea tree.

    NOTE: I am 95.3% certain it is not M. alterninflora, the species from which the commonly available tea tree essential oil is made from. You do not have to worry much about the exact species. Research of the genus and M. alterniflora should be sufficient for the necessary content knowledge.
