[Pollinator] Orchid pollination/poster website

[Peter Bernhardt]

Dear Colleagues, Coauthors and Family:

The Pollinator Partnership is a site managed by NAPPC (North American
Pollinator Protection Campaign).  They invited Dr Edens-Meier and I to help
them design a poster on orchid pollination in North America and provide
text for their website explaining the poster.  Let me assure all coauthors
on "Darwin's orchids Then and Now" (University of Chicago Press, October
15, 2014) that we did NOT being work for NAPPC until AFTER the edited ms.
of your book went to the publishers at University of Chicago Press.

The following link will take you to the poster and web pages that explain
the poster.  We do NOT request that you purchase the poster.  Please do
note that Dr Edens-Meier and I wrote up almost all the text on the orchid
species page and almost half of the text for the pollinator page.  Perhaps
colleagues in Australia, China, Israel would consider a similar project for
their own orchid floras?  The amazing. embedded footage of the cricket
pollinating the African orchid was, of course, provided with the permission
of Dr. Micheneau.  Of course, you might also enjoy visiting other links on
these pages including the so-called "drunken wasp" foraging on Epipactis
near Darwin's house.  If you enjoy this site please share it.
