From Anegada in the northeastern corner of the Caribbean to the tip of
western Cuba, the Greater Antilles stretch across nearly 1500 miles
comprising a geologically complex group of islands that house a remarkably
species-rich flora and fauna, making the region one of the world’s
biodiversity hotspots. Nearly 600 orchid species reside on these
culturally diverse islands, and to get a good sense of this diversity,
their intriguing biology and the habitats in which they reside, ideally one
must go where they are. Alternatively, join Jim Ackerman, Professor at the
University of Puerto Rico, as he unveils the beauty and unravels the
mysteries of the public and private lives of the “Orchid flora of the
Greater Antilles.”
