AI Thread Summary
To measure the width of flowers and sizes of petals for research, a tape measure is a practical tool recommended for accuracy. While some botany textbooks may not provide specific measurements, those focused on plant taxonomy often include dimensions of various plant parts, including flowers and leaves. It's advisable to explore local library resources for relevant taxonomy books that cover regional flora. Engaging with literature on plant classification can also yield insights into the average sizes of flowers and petals.

Personally, I'd reccomend a tape measure, but some botany textbooks might have information on the average size of a plant.
 
Thank you,

My botany book doesn't contain any information on that, but only about different kinds of trees on planet and how they are classified, instead.
Any good books you have read and found them interesting on the subject ? Thanks
 
Books on plant taxonomy usually have information regarding dimensions of leaves, flowers and other distinguishing plant parts.

I would check your library to find taxonomy books that cover your location..

The study provides critical new insights into the African Humid Period, a time between 14,500 and 5,000 years ago when the Sahara desert was a green savanna, rich in water bodies that facilitated human habitation and the spread of pastoralism. Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant. Genomic analyses reveal that the...
Whenever these opiods are mentioned they usually mention that e.g. fentanyl is "50 times stronger than heroin" and "100 times stronger than morphine". Now it's nitazene which the public is told is everything from "much stronger than heroin" and "200 times stronger than fentany"! Do these numbers make sense at all? How do they arrive at them? Kill thousands of mice? En passant: nitazene have already been found in both Oxycontin pills and in street "heroin" here, so Naloxone is more...
