TUESDAY EVENING PROGRAMS July 14 · 7:30 - 9:30pm Title: What’s Blooming Now?
Presenter: Anthony
Valois, PhD
Each
spring many people visit the trails of the Santa Monica Mountains NRA
looking to see our famous wildflowers. In summer the casual perusal of
spectacular displays give way to the more dedicated hunt conducted by
the true flower connoisseur. Where do we go and what can we expect to
find once green gives way to tans and browns? We will explore this in
general terms and in the context of a large gallery of flower pictures.
The title of this presentation is drawn from the Park’s “What’s
Blooming” website, which will be used as a resource during the talk.
NO AUGUST PROGRAM Programs and Events are free to the public unless otherwise specified.
