Elusive Blue: The Rarest of Flower Colors

Did you know that blue is the rarest flower color? Please join Brandon George, graduate student in Public Garden Leadership at Cornell University, for an in-depth talk on the color blue. In this webinar, Brandon will discuss what is technically considered blue, as well as the science behind the color, why it is so rare in the plant world, and some tips for displaying it in a garden. Finally, he will share where true blue can be found at the Cornell Botanic Gardens. The program is sure to spark your curiosity and inspire you to search for blue next time you’re visiting our gardens!

The program is free but pre-registration is required. Click here to register.  After registering, you will be sent a confirmation with instructions for joining the Zoom webinar.
