I think the previous post works for this one as well, they are all detailed nature writing ideas. This one is about the plant in class:

Your eyes are instantly drawn to the vivid orange blossoms which are filled with bright yellow and patterned with red polka dots. The flowers are not open faced with petals, but look like little bloated tubes adorned with red skirts. They grow in clusters and bend from the stems all in the same direction looking for the sun. Forest green leaves sprout from the base to the top, their undersides are a lighter green. Each leave is split down the middle by a large vein with less visible streaks. The tips of the leaves are curled and brown, a result of water deprivation. Younger buds range in color from light green while the more mature buds turn to burgundy much like the stems. The immature blossoms begin to grow in between the leaves, as time passes they move upwards to bloom. Growing along the rim of the terracotta pot the plant has left the middle empty and tangled with roots. Tiny black poppy seed like points hide within the tubes contrasting against the sunny filled insides.

So far I do not like any of my ideas and need to find something that works.
