In a recent article I stumbled upon the following quote and decided to use it as an example of metaphorical imagery.
"In a real WebQuest, newly acquired information undergoes an important transformation within learners themselves."
The flowers represent a visual metaphor because like learning occurs on the inside of the students in their minds. Flowers internal processes allow for them to grow and bloom, all when provided with the right elements around them.
