Get ready for the shocking truth about botanical sex. Who knew that
bee orchids trick insects into having sex with them, avocado
flowers are female one day and male the next, and some flowers are
the insect equivalent of nightclubs where males and females meet
and mate? Bestselling popular science author Mike Allaby reveals
over 200 of nature's most unseemly creations in this sensational
expose. The sexual antics of plants are far more varied than those
of people and plants have preferences and techniques for which we
have no equivalent. Being rooted to the spot, many rely on
pollinators for assistance and forget birds and bees, we're talking
kangaroos, giraffes, and vampire bats. Botanical illustrations
throw light on the gallery of pimps, hookers and gigolos who may be
lurking in your back garden and spice up this compendium of
scurrilous botany which - be warned - may shock the worldliest of
gardeners.
