Astounding Adaptations<\/strong>
\n“of the Rainforest”<\/em>
\n[display sign at National Arboretum]<\/strong> “Equatorial warmth and moisture allow life to flourish in the jungle like nowhere else. In this setting plants exhibit countless adaptations to the teeming, screaming, abundance of living things as well as to some surprising features of the physical environment.”<\/p>\n
