Red in Spring
Red in Spring
When leaves of many plants start out in Spring, many are often red before they are green. Before the leaves begin making chlorophyl, they store up sugar for fast growth. Sugar-filled buds appear red. Once the leaves pop out they start producing chlorophyl and turn green very rapidly.
I tried finding a great reference for you but RankBrain hasn't figured out my question...yet.:)
Thanks to Oleg Moskalensky for this super image.

Ben Moskalensky, did you know what Zara Altair described above? I think I'll pull you out of your Science class and just have you read Zara's posts instead... :)
ReplyDeleteOleg Moskalensky No, no. As long as the science is introduced in relation to the real world around, stay and learn Ben Moskalensky.
ReplyDeleteAnd, Oleg, I did teach science to kids, pre-school - junior high, in California when science was not part of the state curriculum! I came to the classroom for experiments, field trips, and the like. Very fun. Science is so trippy when you are a kid.
Spring is awesome Zara Altair the world coming back to life :)
ReplyDeleteDavid Amerland Yes it is. I love going out and seeing the buds day by day.
ReplyDeleteZara Altair there is a special kind of magic to the world. :)
