The Romance of Plant Life
The Romance of Plant Life | G. F. Scott Elliot
1 post | 3 to read
"[...]their leaves try to overreach and get beyond their neighbours. On such a square yard of ground, it is just the competition amongst the plants, that makes it certain that every gleam of light is used by one or other of them. Every one of all those plants of itself alters the slope of its leaves and turns its stems so as to get as much light as possible.[...]".

Just released on Librivox! I helped record this book and I‘m excited it is finished and released because I am looking forward to listening to the other chapters!

It was published in 1907 and it‘s a compendium of fascinating things that plants do to survive and grow in all sorts of environments, meant for general readership. #librivox #audiobook

ColleenIsReading @Soubhiville that‘s the lovely work of the volunteers at LibriVox who make “cover art” for the audiobooks as they are released—a custom from the early days in the mid 2000s when most people downloaded the files and burned them to CD to listen to! 5y
