Orchids, Through Darwin’s Eyes, the 15th Annual Orchid Exhibit, will be held at the National Museum of Natural History from January 24 to April 27, 2009.
This exhibit will feature live orchids, a fossilized bee specimen with a pollinia (pollen packet) of an extinct orchid attached to it, a family tree of orchid genealogy, excerpts from Darwin’s writings, and more recent evolutionary discoveries related to the orchid family. All of this will illuminate the connections that have been and continue to be made between orchids and the processes of natural selection and adaptation. |
