Epiphytes & Evolution: Viewing plant adaptation by way of air plants
Wednesday, December 19, 12:00 noon – 1:00 pm – Great Room by the Bay
With his most recently published volume, Air Plants: Epiphytes and Aerial Gardens, Dr. David H. Benzing will share how epiphytes illustrate basic biological principles such as evolutionary mechanisms and patterns. An hour spent with Dr. Benzing is time spent contemplating how nature works. Join us for a lecture, book sale and signing.
