The author guides readers through the basic concepts of plant structure and function, using the example of common, easy-to-find flowers to illustrate each concept. Starting with bulbs like tulips, hyacinths, and daffodils, the book proceeds to more complex flowers, like the house geranium, nasturtium, fuchsia, and azalea. Readers will learn about the parts of flowers, pollination, fertilization, and why flowers have the colors and shapes they do. Along the way, the book weaves in the history of plant classification and the scientific method through the work of early botanists and their discoveries. By the end, readers will have gained a better understanding of the diversity and complexity of flowers and the role they play in the natural world.
