The Secret of Flowers takes you into the life and work of Christian Sprengel, the founder of flower biology. Sprengel is known for his conclusions about the relationship between plants and animals. At the end of the 18th century, he unraveled the meaning of flower colors, the role of flower scents, and the function of buzzing insects around brightly colored inflorescences. This book gives you an outline of his life and work and the connection between them.
