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