Addendum 12/18/13
Today, Liam posted the background information and is starting to make the table, Cory posted the hypothesis, Sophie posted different pictures. We also used the SEM. Cory was the recorder, Sophie was the SEM operator and photographer, and Liam was the data collector.
Hypothesis
- The pollen will all be different.
- If this is supported, all the pollens will be different with no resemblance to eachother.
- If this is rejected, two or more of the pollens will have resemblance to each other or show signs of a common ancestor.
- The pollen will be similar because they share a common ancestor.
- If this is supported, two or more of the pollens will have resemblance to each other or show signs of a common ancestor.
- If this is rejected, all the pollens will be difference with no resemblance to each other.
Edit: December 20th
The first hypothesis is Liam's
The second hypothesis is that of the rest of the group

Background info on the amazing flower of the lily.
Growing from bulbs, lily flowers blossom between spring and autumn, with different varieties opening at different times. They come in a variety of colors, including white, yellow, orange, red, pink, violet and blue. Some flowers are speckled or spotted. These flowers often have a trumpet shape, with showy petals that curl outwards and a drooping style. Their stamen and pistils are prominent.
Lilium flowers need well-drained soil with lots of organic matter, which enriches the soil with nutrients and keeps it moist. In cool climates, full sun is best, but lilies can tolerate partial shade in warm places. In addition to regular watering.
