French botanist Simon Klein reveals the seduction techniques of flowers in this beguiling and fascinating tour of the courtship between plants and pollinators.
'A fascinating treasure trove for plant lovers and gardeners alike.' - Frances Tophill

Often beautiful and sometimes strange, flowering plants have evolved to become masters of seduction.

We are surrounded by extraordinary partnerships between plants and the birds, bees and other insects that pollinate them. In The Sexual Life of Flowers, botanist Simon Klein leads a beguiling and fascinating tour of the courtship between fifty flowers and the pollinators vital to their survival.

From the siren scent of honeysuckle to the radiating warmth of the sunflower or the ultraviolet signal of the red poppy; tales of botanical charm, deception and intrigue are played out amid an annual explosion of activity in gardens, meadows and woodlands. Lavishly illustrated in full colour, this is a beautiful collection for gardeners and anyone with an interest in flowers.

Simon Klein holds a joint PhD in Biology from the University of Toulouse and prestigious Macquarie University (Sydney, Australia). He works for the French Office of Climate Education, creating material aimed at governments and institutions to better understand the science behind climate change.
