Maria Gillis Assignment #9: A Matter of Selection

 The texture of the leaves of the plants are consistently the same throughout the garden. When I touched them, they felt strong and thick. I think this is because even though they are different, the all come from the Brassica oleracea species. These plants must share a common ancestor. They all have mutated and created new adaptations over time, but they all seem to have similar, veiny textures. The charctersitic that seems to be the same is the thickness and size of the stems. Yes, the range from many differences colors and purposes but their common ancestor shows the many similarities within these plants.
