Learning about Plants

'Plants' is an interesting and yet difficult to learn topic. It is difficult because we have taken plants for granted.Plants are found everywhere around us but we do not take time to look at them individually and find out more about them. they do not move around to attract our attention like animals, but 'stand' there, providing what we all need, oxygen, to breathe.

Raintree is an umbrella-like tree that is planted commonly along the roads to provide shade for us. It has compound leaves that respond to the sunlight. During the day, the leaves of the raintree will slowly up. And as the sun sets, the leaves will slowly close up.

I have taken pictures of the raintree at different times of the day. Hopefully, you can see how the leaves respond to the sunlight.
