Look sharp - Earth's most resilient plants have a few tricks up their spines!
How does a desert plant outlast a drought with barely a drop of rain? Which prickly oddity only ever blooms in the dead of night? How does a clever succulent disguise itself as a pebble to avoid being eaten?
An Anthology of Cacti and Succulents takes young readers through a rugged, resourceful corner of the plant kingdom, from the towering giants of the Sonoran Desert and hardy cliff-clingers of the Andes to the trailing vines of the Brazilian rainforests and cheerful succulents on the windowsill. Learn the secret behind every spike and stem, and discover how these plants are built to survive where almost nothing else can grow.
Featuring striking photographs and vibrant illustrations, this book is perfect for budding botanists, curious naturalists, and anyone who wants to grow something beautiful without much fuss.
