Reviews

[Christoph Meyer · Rating 3 out of 5]

Strange little book. Found it in a thrift store years ago. All it does is describe a few plants in different seasons, mostly concentrating on how the grow and reproduce. My favorite part is that the pictures are severe and clinical, and the information is presented in a way that I can't tell if it's for a kid, a general scientific reader or a gardener. Amusing and perplexing.
