June 2025

This month, Dr. Peter Zale of Longwood Gardens treats us to a visual feast of the orchids of the Highlands of Southern Tanzania (Chikanda Orchids) and Lydia Mosley and co-workers describe their work using motion-capture cameras to research the insect pollinators of several Mid-Atlantic native orchids. Jim Cootes continues his series on the section of the genus Dendrobium with section Breviflores and Olivier Turina introduces us to the stunning beauty of stanhopeas.
