Visit to Buenos Aires
Stacey spent much of winter break in Argentina working on the Petunieae project. In Buenos Aires, she visited the famous Instituto Darwinion, which houses an impressive collection of Solanaceae. She also met the inimitable Julian Greppi, a biologist at the Instituto Nacional de Tecnología Agropecuaria. Together with botantists from Brazil, Julian has been spent years working the taxonomy of Calibrachoa and developing horticultural varieties from native species. There is even a video about his efforts!
