The Inner Beauty of Flowers
March 6 - September 30, 2010
Church Exhibition Gallery, Lyman Plant House
A collaboration between
The Botanic Garden of Smith College,
Retired Radiologist Merrill C. Raikes MD, and
University of Massachusetts physics professor
Robert B. Hallock

Reception: Monday March 8, 7:00 - 9:30 pm
With the Spring Bulb Show illuminated
in the Lyman Conservatory

This exhibition explores light, x-rays, vision, and flowers, showing how x-rays can be used to extend our normal range of perception. Magnificent floral radiography by Merrill C. Raikes brings to light a world of delicacy and beauty that otherwise remains invisible to us.
You'll never look at flowers the same way!
