A beautifully illustrated spotter's guide to 52 of Britain's most successful plants - their names, stories, uses and quirks.
It's often imagined that rarity is special. We seek out uncommon plants or birds to tick them off our lists, but most of us overlook the extraordinary splendour of the species we encounter daily in the natural world. It's these species - the most successful plants - that are truly interesting.
In this new book, Ken Thompson sets out to chart Britain's fifty-two most common wild plants and to explain the secrets of their success. What are their key characteristics? How do they thrive in different habitats? Where did they come from? What do their popular names - speedwell, buttercup, dog rose - mean?
Common or Garden - stunningly illustrated by the artist Sarah Abbot - will open our eyes afresh to the everyday natural world.
