On returning to site alpha, it was a much colder day. I walked over only to find that the lavender- like flowers were even closer to death, the hyacinth-like flowers were losing their color, and the black eyed susan's had less petals than last time. This saddening sight made me realize that winter is coming sooner this year, and that the climate really does effect the flowers dramatically. Also, this time I went to view site alpha right after it rained, which might have pelted the petals off od the black eyed susans, or it could simply be getting too cold for them. Besides the withering of life that some of these flowers are encountering, the leafy greenery like the clovers and sprouts seemed to stay in tact, as well as the Zinnas.

I like how you chose to observe a flowering area because, as you said, a lot of changes will be observable each week. It is really sad to watch these flowers die, but it is the cycle of life and definitely shows the flowers response to its environment (property of life).
