Flowers

This book is an introduction to flowers and the plants they grow on.

It describes what flowers are, where they grow, what they are for, and the variety of flowers around the world in different environments.

It also introduces pollination, seed development and dispersal.

Following a look at how we use flowers (eg medicines and perfumes as well as for decoration), the book shows readers how to grow their own flower. The book includes flower fact boxes that highlight additional information, and a glossary and index.

It is illustrated with full colour photos throughout.
