The evolutionary history of flowers extends across some 125 years. During this time, an intricate assortment of more than 125,000 species has developed. The Rose's Kiss recounts this extensive history with details ranging from a flower's architecture and life cycle to the multitude of pollinators that allow these plants to reproduce. A special tribute to bees and elements of flowers' reproductive strategies, such as scent and color, explain how plants make flowers. Of particular interest is the story of how a flower's environment regulates its life span and blooming time. Originally published in hardcover in 1999. U Ch Pr, 2002, 267 p., b&w photos, paperback, $16.00.
