When we look at the adaptation of plants to different environments, we begin to see our diverse and wonderful world. I have lived most of my life in the desert, where water in any form, is at a premium. There are very few places in Arizona and Utah, where the lack of water dominates the way plants grow and how they have evolved. In this image of the Manatee Springs Swamp in Florida, you can see the contrast where plants have evolved in conditions where water is always present. I don't think I can claim any particular preference. I presently enjoy looking out my window while working at a hillside that is just now beginning to have new green leaves.
