Flora: Inside the Secret World of Plants
Flora: Inside the Secret World of Plants | DK
1 post | 1 to read
Discover the extraordinary diversity of the plant world--and how plants work--with this photographic celebration of the trees, flowers, and foliage plants that share our planet. From tiny mosses and delicate ferns to vibrant blooms and stately palms, Flora invites you to explore the plant kingdom from the ground up, and from root to leaf tip. DK's elegant introduction to botany is packed with sumptuous photos and crystal-clear illustrations that explain the mechanics of photosynthesis, why leaves change color, how cacti store water, and how seeds know when to grow. Filled with fascinating stories of how plant roots and leaves communicate with their neighbors and how flowers use color and scent to interact with--and manipulate--the creatures around them, Flora is a fresh and engaging introduction to the mysterious inner workings of the plant world.

I received this book from my husband for my birthday. Since I have a fierce #bookhangover from reading The Girl He Used to Know, I think I may flip through this instead of starting another work of fiction. #thestruggleisreal :)

The photo is from an art gallery I went to this week. I forgot to make note of the painter‘s name before I left the museum.
