involvement guarantees, and this book is another

Feeding an Growing, Flowering, The Social Struggle,
Living Together & Surviving. Through these
6 themes, the narration talks readers through

incredible photographs illustrate the relationships
that plants have with each other and, most remarkably,
the relationship flowering plants have with their
pollinators, be they insect, bird or mammal.

making The Private Life of Plants enjoyable for
