Day 22 of the #30DayChartChallenge - Stars 🌟

Daily hours of sunlight ☀️ for places at different latitudes

Made with #rstats {ggHoriPlot} for the horizon plot and {cowplot} to assemble the pieces
The horizon plot shows the total hours of sunlight per day for several locations. Sunlight per day varies greatly closer to the poles, where days can have 0 hours to 24 hours of sunlight. Near the equator, the days have around 12 hours of sunlight all year. The brighter areas have more daily sunlight and the darker areas have less.

Day 14 of the #30DayChartChallenge - Kinship

Taxonomic relationship of Missouri native coneflowers

This started out as a quick flowchart in #Rstats until I realized that playing around with coord_polar would make my chart look like an actual coneflower.
Taxonomy of Coneflower. Image has 3 flowers where each center is a genus and the petals are species.

Looking at the heights vs spread of Missouri native plants 🌿

I tried out using #rstats {ggh4x} and {cowplot} packages to fill the empty facet with text.
