FLORA

Flora - Kend naturens blomster Tag på opdagelse i den danske naturs blomsterverden og lær 600 arter at kende ved først at se på blomsternes farver. Denne bog bringer tegninger og beskrivelser af Danmarks mest almindelige og udbredte vilde blomsterplanter – inklusiv nogle dyrkede eller invasive arter.Teksten fortæller om blomsternes udseende, deres bestøvning, spredning af frugter og frø, blade og stængler. Små ikoner viser, om det er en farveplante, en spiselig ­plante, en snapseurt, en insektvenlig plante, eller om planten er giftig. Planter vokser ofte i bestemte naturområder (biotoper). Her vises 11 naturområder: Stranden, Klitten, Skoven, Mosen, Engen, Heden, Søen, Levende hegn, Vejkanten og marken, Byen og Haven. Med denne bog i hånden er botanik og plantebestemmelse lige at gå til. Kirsten Tind er forfatter og tegner til denne bog. Hun har i mange år skrevet og illustreret både danske og udenlandske botaniske bøger.
