Synopsis
Capture the changing rhythms of nature, from autumnal decay to spring’s first blooms, through clear observations and lively insight.
Francis Darwin blends precise dates, natural history notes, and personal memory to illuminate how plants mark the year and why those markers matter. From Blomefield’s calendar to contemporary observations, the book invites readers to notice patterns, compare wind and insect pollination, and appreciate the link between seasonal life and evolutionary ideas.
- Discover how flowering dates vary and how temperature influences timing.
- Contrast wind-dertilised pollen with insect-assisted pollen spread.
- Encounter anecdotes about Hooker, Darwin, and the birth of modern science.
- Experience vivid scenes of gardens, travels, and laboratories that shaped botany.
Ideal for readers who love nature writing, botany, and scientific history.
