The Telegraph plant is a fall-blooming annual or short-lived perennial wildflower native to California and parts of the southwest. It grows 3-6 feet tall with upright, hairy stems and gray-green, fuzzy leaves.

It is drought tolerant and attracts insects and seed-eating birds. The Telegraph plant can be used in native and regular gardens as well as containers, and was used by Native Californians for medicinal and practical purposes.
Plants have three main parts - stems, roots, and leaves. Stems hold the plant upright and carry water and nutrients between the roots and leaves. Roots take in water and nutrients from the soil and anchor the plant. Leaves use sunlight to photosynthesize and produce food for the plant. Flowers produce seeds which grow into new plants. Seeds are dispersed in various ways including by wind, animals, and fruit consumption. Plants provide essential food and resources for humans and animals.

The plants include trees, shrubs, herbs, grasses, vegetables and other species.
Plants are living things that require air, water, soil, and sunlight to survive. They produce their own food through the process of photosynthesis, where leaves absorb sunlight and use it to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and sugars. The main parts of a plant are roots, which take in water and nutrients; stems, which transport water and raise leaves and flowers; leaves, which produce food for the plant; and flowers, which produce seeds. Photosynthesis occurs in leaves and uses chlorophyll to power the process of turning carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight into oxygen and food. Plants are essential as they produce food and oxygen, and help clean the air and soil.
This document summarizes the structures and functions of different plant parts. It discusses that roots take in water and minerals from soil and transport them to the stem. The stem then distributes water and minerals throughout the plant and holds up leaves, flowers, and fruit. Leaves use energy from the sun to produce sugars through photosynthesis. Flowers form seeds, which are protected by fruits. Pollen is needed for seeds to form and is transferred by insects, birds, and wind between flowers.
