The data we have gathered has showed us that each plant leans toward more cold climates. The Day Lily originates in countries of Asia and prefers wet climates. The Rhododendron originated in Europe and North America and also prefers colder climates. The Mimosa tree, native to South and Central America, also prefers colder climates. After we shot the SEM photos and labeled the measurements we found a range of sizes between the plants. The Day Lily had a width of 59.2 the Rhododenron had a width of 42.5, and the Mimosa tree had a width of 90.3. Looking at this data the Mimosa tree is found in South and Central America which can be a hot or cold climate. If found in more hot climates the number recorded for the width could explain it's difference from the other plants. These data suggest that hotter climates increase the pollen size of the plant. In order to form a more solid conclusion, more data will be needed.
