    This document provides an overview of a horticulture lesson on plant life cycles. It discusses the three phases of a plant's life: vegetative, reproductive, and dormancy. It defines annuals, biennials, and perennials, noting that annuals complete their life cycle in one year, biennials in two years, and perennials live more than two years or seasons. The lesson involves students planting gladiolus bulbs and observing the bulb sprout and flower as an example of a plant's life cycle phases.
