Flowering Plants – Part 2

August 21 @ 10:00 am 12:00 pm

Zoom Online class participants will receive a Zoom link for the class two hours before the class begins.

$30 Non-Member / $24 Member

We conclude our survey of plants by continuing our exploration of flowering plants.  We dive into some of the remaining families of flowering plants that are collectively called dicots.  Like the plants discussed in Flowering Plants Part 1, many of these plants will be familiar while others you may never have heard of before.
