Duckweed

Duckweed is a common plant among fresh water ponds,  marshes, and quiet streams.   This is a small plant which floats on the water.  It is beneficial food for many fish.  Duckweed is very important in wetlands because they absorb toxins which might find their way into the water.

Stream orchid

The stream orchid loves water!  The syrphid fly, an insect in wetlands, are important for this plant in pollinating.  The center of the flower appears to have many aphids, small green insects, however it uses this to lure the fly to lay eggs on it which pollinates it.

 My personal opinión:

I liked to do this kind of work because I could to learn other English words, to imperve my English. I could learn to use other kinds of programmes as a "Word Could", to do the Webgraphy, etc. I learned to analyze text and take only important information. I have learned to write in English. And now for me is very easy to do some kind of works as this.
