Terra Cotta Botanical Boutique Hortus Curious

Plants are truly awe-inspiring. They can be vast, minute, smelly, or spectacularly ugly. Some plants live on their own or by growing off others. Some live by air and water, while others are carnivorous, eating the creatures around them. Some plants look remarkably like animals, while others have unusual symbolism. Some plants even have special cultural significance. This book explores them all, bringing together the most peculiar and most fascinating plants on the planet—celebrating them in all their diverse splendor.
