Join Dr. Robert Raguso for a tour of the Liberty Hyde Bailey Conservatory on the Cornell University campus. Raguso is a professor in the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior. He is an expert on plant-insect interactions and will share the amazing stories of how Conservatory plants reward (or sometimes trick or deceive) insects to get them to distribute pollen from flower to flower to help perpetuate the species.

The conservatory houses one of several plant collections that make up the Liberty Hyde Bailey Hortorium in the Plant Biology Section of the School of Integrative Plant Science, and is maintained by the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station. It is the home of Cornell’s Titan arums.

Come experience the wild world of evolution through our annual Darwin Days celebration of the life and ideas of Charles Darwin. Plants and their pollinators are partners in an elaborate love story that keeps our ecosystems—and us—healthy. Discover their complex saga of co-evolution.
