Week 3:  This is a type of rock native to Colorado

Week 5:  

Description A thorny shrub with pale pink flowers, the largest (often only) thorns in pairs near leaf stalks.
Flowers: 2-3" (5-7.5 cm) wide; petals 5, broad; sepals 5, slender, usually tapered from base to narrow middle, then expanded slightly near tip; stamens many.
Leaves: pinnately compound, with 5-9 ovate leaflets 1/2-3" (1.3-7.5 cm) long, sharply toothed on edges.
Fruit: berry-like, 1/2-3/4" (1.3-2 cm) long, round, smooth, reddish-purple.
Height: 2-13' (60-400 cm).
Flowering: May-July. 

Habitat Woods and open places in the mountains.

Range Alaska to northern California, northeastern Oregon, northern Utah, and Colorado.

Week 6:

Leaves are deeply veined and very softly hairy. The emerging flower stalk is top center enclosed in leaves.

Week 7: I am a species of dwarf shrubs

Week 9:     __________    is an extensively grown perennial, alone or in combination with grasses for hay and pasture in the northeastern, north-central, and southeastern United States. In the Pacific Northwest it is grown under irrigation or in areas with good drainage and soil moisture. It is an introduced species. Native to north Atlantic and central Europe, the Mediterranean region, Balkans, Asia Minor, Iran, India, Himalayas, Russia from Arctic south to east Siberia.  It spread to England ca 1650 and was carried to America by British colonists (Taylor and Smith, 1981). 

Leaves are palmately trifoliolate; leaflets not serrated; inverted V-shaped "water mark" usually present; large stipules; stems leaves and petioles pubescent.  Flower heads consist of up to 125 flowers; rose purple or deep purplish-red; heads nested in 2-3 leaves. 

Week 10:                                 _______________   foliaceus grows from five to twenty-eight inches tall and is commonly found in small colonies that arise from spreading roots. Basal leaves are often withered at flowering time and stem leaves are broad, prominently veined, and reduced in size and number upwards.  Hairs are often in one to few straight lines on the stem below the leaf base.

Week 12:

Week 14:  The common name of a group of flowering plants characterised by leaves with sharp prickles on the margins, mostly in the family Asteraceae. Prickles often occur all over the plant - on surfaces such as those of the stem and flat parts of leaves. These are an adaptation that protects the plant against herbivorous animals, discouraging them from feeding on the plant. Typically, an involucre with a clasping shape of a cup or urn subtends each of a ____'s flowerheads.  

Week 13:

Christmas Trees

The _________ offers our favorite qualities of the ____tree family to those Christmas tree lovers who crave a big, full, fun tree. While most species of Firs have a neat, tapered shape, the __________ starts out wide at the bottom, and stays wide all the way up the tree.

The needles on the ________ are slightly longer, and very soft to the touch. The branches are not overly large, but still plenty strong enough to hold heavy decorations. The rich green color is the same on the top and bottom of the needle. Like all Fir trees, the ____________offers very good needle retention and can easily last in your home for an entire month.

The fragrance of the _________ is as distinctive as it is enjoyable. While it may seem a bit odd to describe the aroma this way, it is best described as a sweet, citrus like smell. While that may seem contrary to the traditional Balsam scent, just about anyone who has owned a _________ will tell you the fragrance is wonderful.

Week 15:

 is a species of _____ native to western North America, from southeast Idaho and southwest Wyoming, south through Utah and Colorado to Arizona and New Mexico. It grows at high altitudes from 1,750-3,000 m altitude, though unlike Engelmann Spruce in the same area, it does not reach the alpine tree-line. It is most commonly found growing along streamsides in mountain valleys, where moisture levels in the soil are greater than the often low rainfall in the area would suggest.

Size and Form It is a medium-sized evergreen tree growing to 25–30 m tall, exceptionally to 46 m tall, and with a trunk diameter of up to 1.5 m. The bark is thin and scaly, flaking off in small circular plates 5–10 cm across. The crown is conic in young trees, becoming cylindric in older trees. The shoots are stout, orange-brown, usually glabrous, and with prominent pulvini.

Leaves The leaves are needle-like, 15–30 mm long, stout, rhombic in cross-section, dull gray-green to bright glaucous blue (very variable from tree to tree in wild populations), with several lines of stomata; the tip is viciously sharp.

Seed Cones The cones are pendulous, slender cylindrical, 6–11 cm long and 2 cm broad when closed, opening to 4 cm broad. They have thin, flexible scales 20–24 mm long, with a wavy margin. They are reddish to violet, maturing pale brown 5–7 months after pollination. The seeds are black, 3–4 mm long, with a slender, 10–13 mm long pale brown wing.

When was Girl Scouts founded?

By who

Week 17:

The flowers of the _______ (______) are pale blue or mauve, occasionally white or light yellow, up to 1½ inches in diameter when open, borne on stems about 4 inches high. The sepals, five to seven, are colored and petals are absent. ________flowers coming from the Latin word ________, meaning Easter, generally bloom from mid-April to mid-may. On occasion they will even stubbornly poke their heads through the snow. These small flowers go by many different names around the country. A few of the more common are Prairie Smoke, prairie Anemone, Lion's Beard, and the ___________.
