Choosing your plants
- •Select a patch of starflower plants in an area that you visit regularly.
- •Mark the patch with a ribbon on a stick or other marker to make sure that you always visit the same place.
- •If you have a large patch of plants mark off a one metre square area and observe only the plants within the square. Take care not to damage the plants when marking your square!
What to record
- •Record when the first flowers are open.
- •Make a note of when 50% of the flowers are open.
- •Finally record when nearly all of the flowers are open.
