Things to consider

• Is your flower on a tree? Bush? Its own stem? Vine?

• Flowers and fruit are not on a tree or bush at the same time, so make a half and half picture with the fruits on one side and the other half with the flower

• To get a 4, you need to do a little bit of research to find out what type of flowers and colors certain animals like!
