Description
Ewald Weber’s new book introduces us, in a series of entertaining essays, to 25 unusual plants. Each of them has a distinctive feature, something that lies hidden and does not reveal itself at first glance: a fascinating survival strategy, an extraordinary evolutionary history or an ingenious defence mechanism.
Skilfully illustrated, the book will delight any- one who loves and appreciates nature. On a walk through various Central European habi- tats from the sea to the high mountains, the plants we meet include
· a prickly beauty (sea holly),
· the flower that dreams of an oil boom (yellow loosestrife),
· the shrub that longs for the tropics (daphne)
· and the plant that likes turning somersaults (tumbleweed).
