The astonishing feats of our flowers, shrubs and trees Did you know that the flowers of the evening primrose open almost as if in a time-lapse film, and with a rustle at twilight? Or that many of our forest trees have basal fungal growth, or that wild roses are used by insects for establishing their social colonies? Or that the oaks depicted on our one euro cent coins aren't actually oaks at all? If you didn't, then this book is just right for you. Not only does it feature fascinating stories from the world of our native plants, but it also provides sound and entertaining basic knowledge that you can use to astound your friends and family.
