Butterfly Buzz
UMass
Boston’s “Inspired by Butterflies” exhibit at the
annual New England Spring Flower Show was awarded a gold medal
for its beauty and inventiveness by the Massachusetts Horticultural
Society.
Jim Allen, horticulturist and greenhouse manager, organized the exhibit, working with biology professors Robert Stevenson and Dick White, and graduate student Jen Forman. Focusing on butterflies and the plants they use, the exhibit showcases graphics, live butterflies, and a web-based electronic field guide that was developed by Stevenson. The exhibit was on display March 17 – 25 at the Bayside Exposition Center. (Photo by Harry Brett)
