Arnold Arboretum Scenes from May

  By Richard B. Primack 

 

All nature is doing her best each moment to make us well—she exists for no other end.” Henry David Thoreau in his Journal.

 

Our team is going to the Arnold Arboretum twice a week to make observations of flower visitors for the full range of plants growing at the garden.

We often notice unusual occurrences as we walk around.

Our international colleagues are carrying out similar flower visitor surveys at gardens in Korea, India, Scotland, Nova Scotia, Missouri, Hawaii, Czechia, and two places in Germany.
