How do botanists recover from jet lag?

By botanizing, of course! I arrived into New Orleans yesterday after 18 hours of traveling. So today, together with my colleague Dr. Herve Sauquet from Paris-Sud University, we went two hours north of New Orleans to Lake Martin. There we marveled at the botanical wonders -- bald cypress trees growing out of the water, floating ferns, and an abundance of lotus. It was more than enough to keep us awake and enthralled. Click on the photos to bring up a slide show or hover over them to see the captions...

What a beautiful sight! So lush. Our lotus are well and truly asleep for the winter! (only 7.4 C last night in Sydney!)

You can see Taxodium distichum at The Royal Botanic Garden Sydney too!

    CHURCHILL-ABRS FELLOWSHIP

    In 2012, I was awarded a Churchill Fellowship sponsored  by the Australian Biological Resources Study. 
    This blog features postings about the many stops on my itinerary as I meet other scientists and visit botanic gardens in my goal to conserve Australia's endangered cycads.
