Summarize the following:
Woody plants share very similar attributes and growth characteristics with forbs above, and many forbs actually share the same families as woody plants. For instance, caragana mentioned below is in the same family as the clover species and black medic mentioned above, which is Fabaceae, or the Legume (Peas and Beans) Family. The only thing that sets woody plants apart from their herbaceous counterparts is that the stems are not annual (grow up from seed or root growth points every year) like forbs are. The stems also form secondary tissues, primarily xylem, on the interior of the stem, and its these xylem cells, with their very strong and rigid structures, are what make up what we know as "wood." In trees and shrubs subject to seasonal changes, rings develop in the woody tissues in response to growth patterns that occur in the spring and summer. Tropical trees, however, do not form rings because the cambrium (tissue that can grow due to cell division, and makes up xylem [inside layer] and phloem [outside layer], of a plant stem) experiences active growth all year round. Flower and leaf characteristics mentioned above also apply to woody plants, exceptions are those gymnosperms, largely as coniferous plants like spruce and pine trees. Using the basic identifying characteristics described in the step above, find a plant in your garden or flower bed that obviously shouldn't be growing in there and you suspect may be a woody weed of some kind. Woody plants are characterized by structure of the leaves, flowers, seeds or fruit, stems, and growth form. Most who are new to identifying plants feel most comfortable referring to the common name of a plant, and choose to learn the species' scientific, Latin or Greek taxonomic names later. However please note that it's very common for a single plant to have more than one common name, depending on location and the language of those referring to a particular plant, so use of common names exclusively in identifying any plant, weed or not, is discouraged especially in the world's scientific community. This is because many plants have one taxonomic name, and that one taxonomic name is often the name that is easily recognized in all languages in by many people in all regions.

summary: Understand the characteristics of woody plants. Find or locate a weed that would likely be a woody plant. Examine the plant. Make an identification guess on the species or common name of the plant.

The best time to pick your flowers is in the morning after the dew has evaporated. This is when they will be the most fresh. Pressed flower buds are lovely, as are flowers which are fully bloomed. Try to pick flowers in a variety of stages for a natural look. Other flowers that press well include single-petal roses, Cosmos, California poppy, and Queen Anne's Lace. Flowers with bulky blooms, like roses or carnations, take much longer to dry and don't look as nice when they're pressed. You may want to hang them to dry them instead. Some flowers, like lilies, have stamens which protrude from the petals. Remove these before you press the flower or the stamen will leave a stain on the dried petals. If you're going to display your flowers in a frame, you can add other natural touches by drying leaves, grasses, herbs, and ferns in your press.

summary: Pick flowers when they are dry. Harvest flowers when they are about to open or just before their peak. Select flowers with naturally flat blooms, like violets and daisies. Remove any obvious stamens from your flowers. Press leaves, ferns, and grasses if you want to accent your flowers.

Music can help us calm down and find inner peace even in the most stressful of situations. Find music that works for you and then be ready to rock it at a moment's notice! One good chillout song is Ze Frank's "Chillout". What a surprise! MyNoise is another great source of relaxing music that can help you center yourself and find some inner peace. Going for a walk or run is another good way to calm yourself down. Getting exercise not only tires us out and lets us release tension, it also releases endorphins, which are the brain chemical that regulates our emotions. Go for a quick jog around the block if you find you're having a hard time. Whether you're playing fetch with a dog or pirates with a five-year-old, having fun with someone who really knows how to embrace the joys of life can make a huge difference when you're having a tough time. Drama, either drama you cause or drama you find yourself in the middle of, can really get in the way of finding your inner peace. We tend to seek out drama because it makes life more exciting, but in order to find peace we have to make our lives more exciting by pursuing challenges instead. This is because the negative feelings associated with drama cannot create inner peace, which relies on positive feelings. If someone in your life is prone to just bringing the drama, try to cut them out as much as you can. There are lots of great, basic comfort activities that you can do to calm down and find peace when you're starting to get a bit on edge. You can drink tea, watch a funny movie, meditate, light some incense, or any number of other calming rituals. These work based on personal preference, so just find one that works for you!
summary: Listen to calming music. Go for a walk or run. Play with someone who knows how to have fun. Avoid drama. Do comforting activities.
