by Peter Bernhardt
From the rear cover
In The Rose's Kiss, Peter Bernhardt presents a fascinating and wide-ranging look at the natural history of flowers-how they are built, how they respond to the weather, how they scent and sweeten themselves and the many different animals they depend upon to reproduce. You'll discover why flowers are so colorful, how they evolved, and how insects exploit them for their nectar. This is a book for all flower lovers, from naturalists and gardeners to poets and botanists.
