Klappentext zu: Wild Flowers

Inspired by childhood excursions with her botanist father, Sarah Raven has travelled the length and breadth of the British Isles to find 500 of our most breathtakingly beautiful wild flowers.
This lavishly illustrated book is divided by season and then by
habitat, covering fields, gardens, ponds, coasts, woodland and
wasteland. Sarah introduces a wide range of plants, telling you their
names and something about them - how to identify the
families, how they're brilliantly adapted to their environment, their
importance to animals and insects, what herbal remedies they can be
used for, the story behind their common names and the part they play in
local history.
Join Sarah on trips to see pulsatillas, fritillaries, bluebells, wild
garlic, harebells, forget-me-nots, foxgloves, wood spurge, silverweed,
purple cranesbill, deadly nightshade, St John's wort, comfrey, orchids,
wood sorrel, snowdrops and more.
There are glorious landscape photographs by Jonathan Buckley throughout, and one of his stunning plant portraits accompanies each of Sarah's authoritative, captivating species descriptions. Informative and lovely, Sarah Raven's Wild Flowers is a botanical marvel.
