Sex in Your
Garden. Angela Overy
What a delightful book.
Talk about the birds and the bees – they are just a part of this look at
pollination and reproduction in the plant world and all the partners they
entice from Hummingbirds and bees to bats and wind.
Illustrated and laid out like a children’s book for adults,
this book begins with botanical basics and soon takes you in to the complex
forms, scents, colors, and patterns that have evolved in each flower as they
compete for their patch of the world.
The author’s name almost commits her to writing a book on
this topic and if so, I am pleased. She
does it with humor and a condensed text that is as filled with information as
the stamens are with pollen.
You will love your garden more and you will understand the
natural world better if you read this book.
