# Weird Plants by Chris Thorogood (Hardcover)

"This unique book explores a fascinating world in which plants trick, kill, steal and kidnap--plants you could scarcely imagine even exist: carnivores that drug, drown and consume unsuspecting insect prey; flowers that mimic rotting flesh to attract pollinating flies, and orchids that duplicitously look, feel and even smell like a female insect to bamboozle sex-crazed male bees. Author Chris Thorogood showcases these plant behaviours and the intrigue of plant evolution. The book is illustrated throughout with unique, life-like oil paintings by the author, who has encountered these weird plants around the world"--Page 4 of cover
