  The sample was collected from flowers located at the back entrance of Lloyd next to Ruddock. The pollen was collected at 1:00 pm on May 9th. The sample was acquired by carefully shaking the flower over a slide.

<p>
 How can flowers differentiate their species’ pollen grains? Are different pollen grains structurally distinct from each other? To answer these questions, I would take samples of multiple different flower species. I would also compare the pollen of related species to see if/how pollen changes during speciation. #caltechbi1
