Description
Most of us overlook the extraordinary splendour of the species we encounter daily in the natural world. But it's these species - widespread, resilient, adaptive - that are truly interesting. This book sets out to chart Britain's 52 most common wild plants and to explain the secrets of their success. What are their key characteristics? How do they thrive in different habitats? Where did they come from? And what do their popular names - speedwell, buttercup, dog rose - mean? A beautifully illustrated celebration of the everyday.
