While chasing plants in Iraq might not be everyone’s cup of tea, Boise botanists Barbara Ertter, Christopher Davidson, and Sharon Christoph jumped at the chance to participate in the inaugural expedition for a new Flora of Iraq, in the mountains of autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan. A presentation by Barbara will include an overview of Kurdish history, the background of the Flora of Iraq project, as well as the joys and challenges of chasing plants in a region far removed from Idaho but sharing much of the same habitats, home to many of our weeds, and a prime source of plants suitable for Idaho gardens.
