Inspiring botanic tales

A series of eighteen unrelated botanical stories, usually introduced from some personal angle. There is a surprising amount of quite unusual information here, and eminently readable to anybody interested in plants, in pollination and in the ways plants have adapted to survive.Sparingly illustrated by line drawings, of good quality, and some fair black & white photographs, augmented by eight pages of color photographs. Note: ISBN 0-688-08350-1 is the 1989 hard cover.
