Pollen: The Hidden Sexuality of Flowers

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This beautifully produced and highly original book by an artist and a botanical scientist at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, results from their shared fascination for the perfect designs of these microscopic organisms. Using light and scanning electron microscopy they have created a dazzling array of pollen grain images, combined with exquisite photos of their parent plants. The accessible text provides a clear explanation of the structure and form of pollen and a detailed description of the remarkable events that occur from pollination to fertilizaton. Pollen is an intriguing book that is informative and a visual delight.
