James T. Carlton, Ph.D., Professor of Marine Sciences Emeritus at Williams College and Director Emeritus of the Williams College-Mystic Seaport Maritime Studies Program
Krystal Rose, M.F.A., Curator of Collections, Mystic Seaport Museum
Spineless: The Magical World of Marine Invertebrates, and Perspectives on our Finger on the Pulse of Changes in Coastal Invertebrate Diversity
Join Krystal Rose and Dr. James T. Carlton to learn about one of the latest exhibitions at Mystic Seaport Museum, <a href="https://mysticseaport.org/exhibit/spineless-a-glass-menagerie-of-blaschka-marine-invertebrates/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Spineless: A Glass Menagerie of Blaschka Marine Invertebrates</a>. The exhibit explores some of the inspiring ways that people have recorded the ocean’s mesmerizing marine invertebrates, an abundant, diverse, and ubiquitous group of sea creatures including sponges, jellyfish, sea anemones, crustaceans, mollusks (such as sea slugs and octopuses), sea squirts, and many more. They will speak about the major themes of the exhibition, including glassmakers Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka of Dresden, Germany, who in the 19th century produced glass models of spineless sea creatures with meticulously accurate anatomical details and colors; sailors’ drawings and descriptions of marine invertebrates found in logbooks and journals; the preservation of marine invertebrates as “wet specimens,” and contemporary, invertebrate-inspired art. Dr. Carlton will discuss some of the species the Blaschkas created in glass and which live today in our local waters, including some that have since become introduced species around the world. In particular, Dr. Carlton will explore the extent to which we have our “finger on the pulse” of changes in coastal marine invertebrate diversity.

Halfinger Farms

Living History Day offers a step back in time. Long before Dancing Daffodils, the stately farm set across from Candlewood Hill, was The Bonfoey family homestead. The Cromwell Historical Society and The Dirty Blue Shirts Living Historians, transport us back to the turn of the 19th century with their beautiful period clothing, entertaining period lawn games, and a glimpse into the lives that Bennanuel, Constance, and their 13 children enjoyed in this riverport town. Event will run from 11 am to 3 pm.
After picking daffodils, explore the greenhouses where the Halfingers produce and grow a wide variety of plants. Everything from herbs, flowering annuals, perennials, combinations, hanging baskets, and patio planters are available for purchase.
Dancing Daffodils is open seven days a week from 10 am to 5 pm. Be sure to call the picking hotline before traveling — 860-345-4609 — for daily updates on conditions.
