Thismia Hunt 2011 Is Just Around The Corner

Next Saturday (August 13, 2011) is Thismia Hunt 2011. I hope to see some of you there.


To learn about this tiny, mysterious plant, see my recent post at Through Handlens and Binoculars.

  2. Thanks Elizabeth. I'm glad to hear that someone who reads this blog will be there. It doesn't look like you are slated to be on the team that I am leading, so you'll have to introduce yourself if you see me.

  5. Hey thanks Scott. Good luck to you, too! I have no idea where I'll be spending the day - guess I'll find out when I get there, since I'm not a team leader.

  6. If anyone finds Thismia americana, there is a good chance it will be someone that contributes to or follows this blog. Think positive, think phenomenon, think Thismia americana. Good luck to everyone tomorrow, hope to see you there.

  7. It occurs to me there is one thing that would be even cooler than finding Thismia americana. That would be finding a species of Thismia new to science! Hey, it could happen!
