This past Saturday we had one of our most interesting meetings to date. Mat Opel was kind enough to host our June meeting at the UCONN greenhouses which he oversees and maintains. Here are some pitiful pics of a small part of their collection.
Greeting you right at the door of the Life Sciences building was this enormous articulated walrus skeleton...............
........and adult and juvenile taxidermied bald eagles. Couldn't avoid the glare , sorry.
This is the first thing you see when entering the greenhouse area of the building.....The Epiphyte Room....
They had a terrific collection of ant plants which Mat generously shared with the club.
Some of their succulents.
More Welwitchia than I've ever seen in one place.....
One was even in flower.
A blooming Tacca
The smallest blooming Amorphophallus I've ever seen.
The carnivores.......
A huge pot of big flowering Drosera regia.
2 beautiful Roridula dentata.
