Local Asteraceae by Tribe
Wednesday, November 18, 6:30 – 7:30pm
Dana York will give an on-line only lecture. This is for people who took the Introduction to Asteracae workshop in August, but anyone who promises not to complain about it being too technical is welcome to watch. It promises to not be too technical, to be beautiful, and to be helpful for those who want to identify sunflowers. Register here: https://cnps-org.zoom.us/meeting/register/LUjkWwbkRHecRS9aHV9oEA
