The splendour of plants is everywhere. Their colourful flowers, fruits and seeds have fascinated people since the advent of mankind. But they hide a secret one that lies hidden from the naked eye in a microcosm of its own. Under high magnification, pollen, fruits and seeds display exquisitely sophisticated structures and patterns of breathtaking beauty, a beauty that is normally reserved for scientists’ eyes only. A groundbreaking 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 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.
