The rose mallow plant, or Hibiscus moscheutos, features spectacular displays of giant, dessert-plate-sized flowers in various shades of pink and white. Professor Richard Primack of Boston University will lead a stunning tour of rose mallow sites via kayak along the Charles as part of CRWA’s 60th Anniversary Meet Your Watershed Series.

Professor Primack is a plant ecologist at Boston University. His research focuses on the effects of climate change on the timing of seasonal biological events, including the flowering times of wildflowers. He is also an author in conservation biology.
