  1. 2. _____________ stems are found in plants that produce wood, such as trees and most shrubs.
  2. 3. _____________ roots are heavily branched and spread out underground from the stem.
  3. 10. The main portion of the root
  4. 11. Found in a tube-like shape along the stem (including the main roots) of woody plants
  5. 14. Design ______________ are considered the “laws of beauty.” They provide guidelines for organizing floral materials and elements in pleasing ways.
  6. 16. When the seed head forms and is protected by the flag leaf at the top of the stem
  7. 19. The _____________ of each piece of plant material is very important to the overall visual weight and balance of a design.
  8. 20. AKA monocots; Plants that have one seed leaf when they first emerge
  9. 22. The percentage of moisture by weight found in the crop
  10. 24. Found in the nodes of the plants or the places where leaves and branches attach to the main stem of the plant

  1. 1. In _______________ floral designs, the weight is equal on both sides of the CVA, but the distribution of flowers and materials is different.
  2. 4. In _______________ floral designs, equal visual weight is placed in similar positions on both sides of the CVA, creating an almost mirror image between each side of the arrangement.
  3. 5. _____________ roots arise from the stem and provide additional support for the plant.
  4. 6. _____________ stems are found in plants that do not produce wood, such as daisies, grasses, and most crop plants.
  5. 7. Refers to the optical stability of a design
  6. 8. _____________ roots form from the stem or other non-root plant structure
  7. 9. Found at the tips of roots and shoots of the plant
  8. 12. Plants can use both sexual and ____________ meiosis to reproduce.
  9. 13. ____________ of a plant absorb water and nutrients from the environment and store energy for the plant.
  10. 15. The very first seed leaf produced by a plant.
  11. 17. _____________ are a system of roots with one large primary root and few, if any, lateral roots growing from it.
  12. 18. AKA dicots; Plants with two seed leaves when first emerging
  13. 21. _____________ roots often have large branches growing out from the primary root
  14. 23. Water is the single most important element to keep flowers fresh after delivery from a supplier. _________________ is therefore a top priority.
