...featuring the awesome and important research being done by Dr.Krissa
Skogan of the Chicago Botanic Garden on hawkmoth pollination in the evening
primrose family.  See how to "milk" fragrance from a flower and how to
collect pollen from a hawkmoth's "tongue."

“Plants Are Cool Too” is the web series acknowledging that animals are
pretty interesting - but plants are cool, too! Created and hosted by Dr.
Chris Martine of Bucknell University, the series is co-sponsored by the
