Produced by French biologists, this book succeeds in capturing the lives of flowers using macrophotography and is reproduced here in the form of 108 luminous colour photos. The development of nearly 20 species of wildflowers have been caught on film, including irises, daisies, buttercups, cornflowers, thistles and dandelions. A special eight-page section printed on translucent paper allows readers to behold the evolution of a bright red poppy almost as it happens.
