Blogpost #4

1. Check out Fayetteville's pollen forecast. Which is affecting us the most right now: tree, grass, or weed pollen? Specifically, which trees, grasses, or weeds?

The oak trees are affecting us the most for pollen.


2. "You're Surrounded by Pollen," so read this article. What is needed for a "perfect storm" of pollen?
the long winter pushed back growing seasons for some plants and trees, causing them to bloom at the same time instead of at blooming at different times.The flowering season is kind of together this year. Combined that with dry, windy weather, and you have a perfect pollen storm.


3. Choose a microscopic image of pollen. Which one looks the best to you? Why? Where is this pollen commonly found? Write a paragraph in your own words explaining this specific type of pollen. Include a cool-looking picture. You may need to use other websites to help you.
The Penta Anther2 looks awesome to me because it looks like a soccer ball. Its commonly found around flowers. It has pores that collects other particles of pollen and lets them out over time.
