Today I wanted to see what else was in my yard, so I took a sample from a nearby plant and observed it. Here is what I saw:

(The picture that is on the bottom row  on the right is the the actual plant in my backyard)

When observing this plant, I could clearly see the cells and hairs on the plant specimen. I noticed that in some places there was more chloroplasts than other places.  On the sides  of the plant the color of the plant was greener than the internal part of the plant. I was curious to see what plant I was observing so I researched and found that the  scientific name  of the plant is Artemisia Vulgaris.
