    When flowering plants appeared on Earth, they literally took over the planet. They remain the most dominant form of plant life on Earth, with the help of animals, which disperse and pollinate them. Be sure to stop and smell the roses, because the roses sure aren't stopping for us.
    This video is episode 12 from the series Introduction to Plant Science: An Introduction to Botany, presented by Catherine Kleier.

    These are all the answers to questions I have on a daily basis! I find myself constantly comparing flowers and flower parts and then being frustrated at not being able to talk about them because I don’t have the vocabulary or even the basic knowledge needed. Now I’m going to be armed and dangerous-armed with enough vocabulary to be dangerously dull at a cocktail party. But the enthusiasm of this great professor has shown me how to overcome that as well! Thanks!

    My college doesn’t offer botany but I think I want to major in it, so studying as much as possible before I decide and transfer. I’ve always loved plant sciences, though if this doesn’t work out marine biology would be my second choice. I could always double/triple major or minor too. Thanks for the video lovely! Your enthusiasm is contagious!!!

    For some reason I got recommended a lot of plant-related videos. Honestly speaking I'm not interested but got bombarded with tons of info about plants anyway(which I don't really have to know since I work at a Japanese-American cultural exchange program). As someone who has interest in Japan I do love Sakura(Japanese word for cherry blossoms) though, and all I hope is that she is a girl like the character in Naruto.
