Tomato Variety Drawing
Nature NuggetObject Lesson★★We’re going to draw a tomato family. We have 2 different types of plants: one producing little yellow pear tomatoes and the other producing little round chocolate colored tomatoes. Plants have parents, so we draw two more in the family. If this plant produces a flower and it gets pollinated by pollen from another plant, it will produce fruit. The mommy is the one that produces the seed and the daddy is the one that produced the pollen.
