Nomenclature Post #2

I can apply the information I learned during the Frontier Chemistry project to the real world in that I may find myself with an ailment in the woods and have to use my knowledge of medicinal plants in order to treat myself. Much like our essay over the unit, my life my depend on my ability to properly identify plants and know their medicinal uses. These plants are actually used to treat maladies, it is not just some abstract concept only relevant to this project.

What I found most difficult about this task was having to find the plants out in the wild. I found this difficult because I was not really sure what I was looking for at the time, so I felt like I was just taking pictures of random plants and hoping for the best. Also, when it came time to identifying the plants from the pictures that I took, sometimes it was difficult to see the small details that could help identify the plant. Sometimes the way the light hit the plant made it look like a slightly different color than the picture I was trying to match it with, making me concerned that I was looking at 2 different plants.
