In most plants, leaves are the main place where food is made. In order to do this, there has to be a way to move the water and minerals to the leaf cells doing photosynthesis, and a way to carry the food to other parts of the plant.esophyll Cells No, it's not a Mess of Phils. It's a mesophyll. The chloroplasts, where photosynthesis occurs, are in the mesophyll cells. There are two kinds of mesophyll cells in our typical leaf.
Cardinal Flowers can be grown from seeds which should be planted in the garden in the fall. They can also be propagated by division of the plant in early Spring, or with softwood cuttings taken at mid-Summer.
Try placing bird seed on a tray or platform feeder like the one pictured at right. It's important to keep the seed off the ground. White millet, Safflower and cracked corn are the most common seeds they eat. Try offering safflower seed and you'll also get Northern Cardinals eating at your feeders. For more information on seeds and photos of each, please see our Bird Seed Page.
