Véronique M., former co-leader of the Botany Group, sends this note, complete with a set of slides, for your viewing pleasure.
I made a very short PowerPoint from the Mount Washington outing we did July 7 under Martin Dollenkamp’s leadership. He is a first class entomologist and regaled us with all sorts of tidbits on butterfly habits.
The highlight was the mating hydaspe fritillaria couple with a third one trying repeatedly to force himself on the mating couple.
The many flowering sub-alpine flowers were a bonus.
Nice views and weather helped make the day a great success. All our thanks to Martin for donating his time to share something close to his heart with us.
