It's often imagined that rarity is special. We seek out uncommon
plants or birds to tick them off our lists, but most of us overlook
the extraordinary splendour of the species we encounter daily in
the natural world. It's these species - the most successful plants
- that are truly interesting. In this new book, Ken Thompson sets
out to chart Britain's fifty-two most common wild plants and to
explain the secrets of their success. What are their key
characteristics? How do they thrive in different habitats? Where
did they come from? What do their popular names - speedwell,
buttercup, dog rose - mean? Common or Garden - stunningly
illustrated by the artist Sarah Abbott - will open our eyes afresh
to the everyday natural world.
