The genus name Cypripedium is derived from the Greek words "Cypris" an early reference in Greek myth to Aphrodite, and “pedilon” for sandal.  Ladies Slipper Orchids These beautiful orchids are a favorite among orchid keepers.This is because the fused petals that form the orchid’s pouch or modified lip (labellum) resemble a slipper or shoe. The staminode (sterile stamen) is often showy and seems to welcome the insect into the pouch where it makes its way to a back-door exit and in so doing transfers pollen to the stigma.

Asteroids and Dinosaurs will be the topic of discussion on Natures Talk Show Fine Art of Paleontology discussion with Ken McKeighen and Ken Boorman.Plate tectonics might seem like a routine topic from a 7th grade textbook, but in the 1970s, plate tectonics was cutting-edge science. The theory had only gained widespread acceptance over the previous ten years and subsequently attracted scads of scientists looking to open up new intellectual frontiers. Walter Alvarez was one of them, but his research into plate tectonics was destined to be sidelined. An intriguing opinion would eventually lead him, his collaborators, and the rest of science on an intellectual journey across geology, chemistry, paleontology, and atmospheric science — towards solving one of the great mysteries in Earth's history: What happened to the dinosaurs?On Monday April 18th 2016 at 8pm est,7pm cst and 5pm pst.

Volcanoes are awesome manifestations of the fiery power contained deep within the Earth. These formations are essentially vents on the Earth's surface where molten rock, debris, and gases from the planet's interior are emitted.Volcanoes tend to exist along the edges between tectonic plates, massive rock slabs that make up Earth's surface. About 90 percent of all volcanoes exist within the Ring of Fire along the edges of the Pacific Ocean. Let's discuss the effects on Humans, Plants and other living things.On Monday April 11th 2016 at 8pm est,7pm cst and 5pm pst. We look forward to you joining us.

Geology and how it relates to Paleontology will be the topic of discussion on Natures Task Show Fine Art of Paleontology. Join New Mexico Museum of Natural History research associate Ken McKeighen and Ken Boorman n the Fine Art of Paleontology as they discuss geology and how it relates to paleontology. Ken McKeighen has been doing field work since 2009 for the NMMNHS and has made some really cool discoveries. He will explain how understanding geology helped him to discover a new species of Dimetrodon and also how he was able to discover one of central New Mexico's most prolific Early Permian vertebrate fossil sites, the Abo copper mine in the Abo Pass of NM. On Tuesday April 5th at 8pm est,7pm cst and 5pm pst.
