Recent discoveries about the remarkable pollination biology of flame azalea, (Rhododendron calendulaceum), and the surprising roles some of the insects visiting its flowers, will be the focus of a lecture by Mary Jane Epps, PhD., Assistant Professor of Biology at Mary Baldwin College. Her talk will include highlights from two of her lectures entitled: “When Butterflies Beat the Birds and the Bees,” and “The Natural History of Pollination in Flame Azalea.”
