My friend sent me this one. I don't really know what he wants. Can any one help? I know this much galangal is a type of ginger grown in Asia. (Thailand, China, India, etc.) There is also a website galangal.org but I don't think the website plays into the answer. He might want the exact place where is was discovered but I am not sure

Home is where the heart is
Each one should have a family
A family for each of us all

There should be lots of generosity
Where we can all be gingerly
Can you find the address of galangal?

The winter in the Northeast this past winter was very mild and didn't see a lot of cold days. In fact, there were a lot of days when the weather was in the 70s and some in the 80s but the plants still weren't growing. Why is this? The ground was warm, people were out playing golf but I didn't have to cut my lawn.
What makes the grass stop growing? Is it the "angle" of the sun? The ground temperature? The "enzymes"? Some kind of genetic hibernation function triggered by the first front or a couple of days of cold weather?

I have an old gas well that was located in a wooded area. The gas well company plant grass all around this area that is very thick. Nothing else grows there, and it has never been cut and it is only 6 inches thick. I tried to cut it with a 90 hp, tractor with a 60 inch brush hog and it bogs down so bad that I don't even try to cut it. It doesn't really need cut, b/c nothing else will even grow there. What kind of grass is this?

i need to design an experiment on the "role of hormones in phototropism"... 1. i need to write an explanation of the variable to be tested and how this variable plays a role in the regulation of said effect... well basically what im going to do is explain what darwin and dawin found out that auxin is located at the tip of a plant and also boysen-jensen ... and then ganna poretend im Went doing his experiment... to find out that auxin gets centered in one side of the plant.. (dark side) and elongates there... what i want to know is whar is the variable to be tested? like the plant or the hormone? and also i want to know if my topic is a short "role of hormones in phototropism" should i do two experiments where one is where i find out that auxin is located on the tip of a plant and one where i test the plants with no tip but with a control and couple with agar blocks with auxin in them or should i just do one and give the dawin and dawin theory as a background...thanks alot

You could tell that a plant is a dicot because of the veins on the leaves , how can you tell if a plant is a monocot?
I know that a plant is a gymnosperm if the seeds are naked. How can you tell if a seed is an angiosperm?

Each plant is less than an inch tall. Each leaf and each flower is less than a quarter inch in diameter. The flowers are bright light purple. They grow by the millions among ordinary grass. If you pluck one, you don't get much of a stem, because there are leaves all up and down the stem. There are about twice as many leaves as flowers, but the overall impression is of light purple blue flowers rather than green leaves, because the flowers stand out more. These flowers grow very close together, in big patches, giving an impression of light purple fabric.

They grow a few miles south of the Ohio river in west central Kentucky.

I haven't been in this area before, so I don't know how common these flowers are. I might be surrounded by a million people who know the name of these flowers, and I might be the only one who doesn't.

The petals have small dark purple markings, covering only a small fraction of the face of the petal, so the overall color is still light purple.
