Happy Holidays from the CMC Herbarium

Seasons Greetings!

With the holiday season in full effect, the CMC Herbarium is really getting into the spirit. From decorations to festive threads, the holiday cheer is infectious and we hope that you too, catch the jolliness bug.

Figure 1. Graduate students Heather Dame, Rachel Hackett
 (represented as the chair), and Clint Pogue show off their
holiday spirit.
This past week there was a holiday decorating contest amongst the graduate student offices. Our team placed respectively in the top 5. The office had its very own snowflake decorating station, a festivus pole, and even a paper chain...all necessary components for the holiday season. And being that we work in an herbarium, it was only right to have this gem hanging, just don't get caught standing underneath it...things could get awkward (see figure 2).

Figure 2. An herbarium specimen of mistletoe hanging in the
 doorway of the graduate students' office.
Before we break, the CMC Herbarium would like to wish you a safe and wonderful holiday season this year! See you next year!
