Purple Loosestrife Found in wetlands. Perennial, 3’-7’ tall, with up to 50 stems topped with purple flower spikes. One main leader stem, but many side branches often make the plant look bushy. Clipped plants grow back, and cut stems readily re-root in soil to produce new plants. Many areas of the state use safe biocontrol beetles that feed on the loosestrife to keep it in check and allow other plants to grow. Leaves Simple, lance-shaped and do not have petioles. Usually opposite and rotated 90 degrees from those below, but are sometimes whorled. Flowers Closely attached to the stem with 5-6 pink-rose colored petals. Blooms from the bottom of the flower spike to the top from early July to September. Plants can bloom the first year after seeds germinate. Fruits & seeds Capsules burst open when mature in late July-September. A single stem can produce 100,000-300,000 seeds per year. Mature plants with many stems can produce 2 million seeds. Seeds are viable for at least 7 years. Roots Large woody taproot and many side roots. Plants intertwine to form dense clumps. Stems Green, sometimes tinged purple, stiff, erect, and generally 4-sided (older stems, 5 or 6 sided). Similar species Garden loosestrife is a non-native, wetland garden escapee with yellow flowers. Smaller, native winged loosestrife is found in moist prairies and wet meadows, has winged, square stems, solitary flowers in separated leaf axils, paired lower leaves and alternate upper leaves. Swamp loosestrife arches out from shorelines, has mostly whorled leaves, and flowers in well-separated leaf axils. Purple Loosestrife .

Color Matters
Color Matters Color plays a vitally important role in the world in which we live. Color can sway thinking, change actions, and cause reactions. It can irritate or soothe your eyes, raise your blood pressure or suppress your appetite. When used in the right ways, color can even save on energy consumption. As a powerful form of communication, color is irreplaceable. Red means "stop" and green means "go." Traffic lights send this universal message. Likewise, the colors used for a product, web site, business card, or logo cause powerful reactions. Color Matters! Basic Color Theory Color theory encompasses a multitude of definitions, concepts and design applications. There are enough to fill several encyclopedias. However, there are basic categories of color theory. They are the color wheel and the color harmony. Color theories create a logical structure for color. For example, if we have an assortment of fruits and vegetables, we can organize them by color and place them on a circle that shows the colors in relation to each other. The Color Wheel A color wheel is traditional in the field of art. Sir Isaac Newton developed the first color wheel in 1666. Since then, scientists and artists have studied a number of variations of this concept. Different opinions of one format of color wheel over another sparks debate. In reality, any color wheel which is logically arranged has merit. 1 The definitions of colors are based on the color wheel. There are primary colors, secondary colors, and tertiary colors. Primary Colors: Red, yellow and blue o In traditional color theory, primary colors are the 3 colors that cannot be mixed or formed by any combination of other colors.

This rectangular flag consists of a broad magenta stripe at the top (representing same-gender attraction,) a broad stripe in blue at the bottoms (representing opposite- gender attractions), and a narrower deep lavender " band occupying the central fifth (which represents Bisexual Flag attraction toward both genders). The pansexual pride flag holds the colors pink, yellow and blue. The pink band symbolizes women, the blue men, and the yellow those of a non-binary gender, such as a gender bigender or gender fluid Pansexual Flag In August, 2010, after a process of getting the word out beyond the Asexual Visibility and Education Network (AVEN) and to non-English speaking areas, a flag was chosen following a vote.

The Purple Heart
The Purple Heart It is one of the most recognized and respected medals awarded to members of the U.S. armed forces. Introduced as the “Badge of Military Merit” by General George Washington in 1782, the Purple Heart is also the nation’s oldest military award. In military terms, the award had “broken service,” as it was ignored for nearly 150 years until it was re-introduced on February 22, 1932, on the 200th anniversary of George Washington’s birth. The medal’s plain inscription “FOR MILITARY MERIT” barely expresses its significance. --------------------------------- On August 7, 1782, from his headquarters in Newburgh, New York, General George Washington wrote: “The General ever desirous to cherish virtuous ambition in his soldiers, as well as to foster and encourage every species of Military merit, directs that whenever any singularly meritorious action is performed, the author of it shall be permitted to wear on his facings over the left breast, the figure of a heart in purple cloth, or silk, edged with narrow lace or binding. Not only instances of unusual gallantry, but also of extraordinary fidelity and essential Gen. George Washington’s instructions for service in any way shall meet with a due the Badge of Military Merit reward. Before this favour can be conferred on any man, the particular fact, or facts, on which it is to be grounded must be set forth to the Commander in chief accompanied with certificates from the Commanding officers of the regiment and brigade to which the Candidate for reward belonged, or other incontestable proofs, and upon granting it, the name and regiment of the person with the action so certified are to be enrolled in the book of merit which will be kept at the orderly office.

Why Is the Sky Purple?
A laboratory experiment from the Why is Little Shop of Physics at Colorado State University the sky CMMAP purple? Reach for the sky. Overview Necessary materials: Of course, you expect the question to be “why is the sky blue?” That’s the classic version. • 1 “sunset egg” • A white light flashlight And here’s the classic answer: scattering. We’ll talk about what this word means and how it leads to sky color, but we will also see that the The most crucial piece for this experiment is the light from the sky actually contains a bit more “sunset egg.” The small-scale structure of these violet than it does blue! So why do we see glori- glass “eggs” works well to demonstrate the differ- ous blue skies rather than a purple firmament ential scattering that leads to the color of the sky when we gaze up into Earth’s atmosphere? and the color of the sunset. Theory You can find them at rock and nature shops, or you can purchase them in bulk from Pelham Grayson The first person to correctly work out the de- (www.pelhamgrayson.com) under “Magic Feng tails of the process that gives rise to the color of Shui Eggs”. the sky was the English physicist, Lord John Rayleigh, working in the late 1800’s. Rayleigh correctly surmised that the blue color of the sky was a result of scattering. As light enters our atmosphere on its journey from the sun, it interacts with air molecules and is redirected. This redirection is more pronounced for shorter wavelengths toward the blue, or violet, end of the spectrum.
