Fantastic Flowers and Their Many Forms:

Speaker: Andrea Appleton, Harvard Kramer Lab Graduate Student

The importance of the evolution of flowers and the breadth of their diversity cannot be overstated. Flowers exhibit extreme variation in their shape, size, color, and even the type of parts they are made of, but how?
