Weird Plants. NEW. Allyson HaywardChris Thorogood. Explores the fascinating world of plants that trick, kill, steal and kidnap, plants that one could scarcely imagine. Included here are carnivorous plants, flowers that mimic rotting flesh and orchids that look and smell like insects. Each of the forty six remarkable plants, including New Zealand Flax, is illustrated with a life like oil painting by the author, an Oxford University botanist. A very unusual book.
