We had our first day in the field in beautiful Armenia. Good news, Camelina is abundant! Again we mixed both cultural and natural history along the way. Highlights included making our first collections of Camelina laxa, and Evan proved once again that he is definitely the most stylish in his use of Camelina as an accessory. We made a stop along the way to visit the reconstructed Hellenic Temple at Garni - dating from 100 AD. We took a photo at the overlook near the temple with our collaborator Dr. George Fayvush (Botanical Institute of Armenia), Dr. Alla Aleksanyan, and George's student Rhipsime.
