Wonders of the Plant Kingdom: A microcosm revealed //
Wolfgang Stuppy, Rob Kesseler & Madeline Harley

Publ. Papadakis 2014
ISBN: 978-1-906506-47-6

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.
