This is a selection of striking and informative images of pollen,
seeds and fruit as you have never seen them before. It will appeal
to anyone interested in natural botany, wildlife, art and
photography. Authors include a leading artist and botanists from
the world-renowned Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. A ground-breaking
collaboration between an artist and two botanists, this book tells
the story of how flowers disseminate their pollen and how the
pollinated flower turns into a fruit beginning a whole new chapter
in a plant's life. It is the success or failure of a fruit to
disperse its seeds that decides the survival or extinction of a
species. This crucial role of fruits and seeds explains the
fascinating spectrum of strategies and ruses that plants have
evolved over millions of years to achieve their dispersal. This
book combines extraordinary images with a clear, easily accessible,
yet scientifically accurate text explaining the different forms of
pollen, seeds and fruit, and their role in preserving the
biodiversity of our planet.
