Flowers are the aesthetic culmination of plant life. In all the incredible diversity of their colors and shapes, they decorate fields and meadows, gardens and parks, turning the earth's expanses into colorful landscapes. There is nothing more fascinating than taking a closer look at them, because behind their beauty there are amazing natural mechanisms that are sometimes more intriguing than any thriller. Features of the evolution of flowering plants, the structure, or “architecture” of flowers, the geometry of inflorescences, symmetry and the Fibonacci code in relation to flowering plants, the reproductive system and the pollination process, the symbolism of flowers, use in heraldry - this book leaves no questions unanswered. Its pages reveal the complex processes behind the cycles of flowering and wilting, and also describe the relationship of flowers with representatives of the animal world. With informative narration by German explorer, biologist, teacher and journalist Bruno Kremer and stunning illustrations, this is a comprehensive natural history of flowers, covering both biological and cultural aspects. A great gift for anyone interested in plants.
