A toilet manufactured before 1980 might use 5 to 8 gallons per flush (gpf), which means that each of the home's residents might be flushing 48 gallons of water down the drain daily. By contrast, a toilet built to 1992 standards uses 1.6 gpf, and the average flusher uses about 9.1 gallons of water daily.
Lilies, tulips, orchids, bluebells, crocuses, amaryllis and daffodils all belong to the monocot class. Monocots can be identified by the number of parts of the flower, with petals or stamens found in numbers divisible by three.
Monocots are a class of angiosperm, or flowering plant, distinguished from dicots. The distinction was first established by botanist John Ray in 1682. Scientists today do not consider Rayâs description perfect, however monocots are still the most popularly known classification of angiosperms.
