Description
This book describes both garden and wild flowers and explains the relationship between them. A major aim of the book is to encourage readers to look at the detailed structure of flowers and to help them to understand how flowers are classified into families. The book describes 42 families that between them contain many of the garden and wild flowers found in Britain. There are over 700 photographs covering 424 flowering plant species, 253 of which are found in gardens and 171 in the wild. In each family, the book illustrates similarities and differences between wild and garden flowers. It explains why flowers take the forms they do and uses close-up photographs to illustrate pollination and fruit formation. The book describes how species have evolved within families. An ingenious set of identification keys helps to identify families and species. Botanical terms are explained using images and non-technical terms. The source and date of introduction into Britain of non-native species is described. The book will appeal to gardeners, horticulture and biology students and anyone who enjoys looking at flowers in the garden or countryside.
