Student is Earning Her Stripes....

My grad student has been busy the last 2 days measuring and weighing Adenium stems, leaves and flowers....
Today she was washing roots from 150 pots..........she got it done.......now they are being weighed....
This has been tedious work but the data will be great.....No one else has done this that we know of....
All the tops and roots will now be dried in separate bags and weighed again in a week or two...
Then the fun begins as she can look at all the numbers and see what story is there....
Then what....?????
She gets to do it again......repeat and verify.........repeat and verity...........repeat....

I haven't told her this part of the story yet......
