5.0 out of 5 stars
an enthousiasm for orchids, sex and deceptoin in plant evolution, by John Alcock,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: An Enthusiasm for Orchids: Sex and Deception in Plant Evolution (Hardcover)
This is a really fascinating book on both orchids and evolution. The author turns primarily to Southwest Australian orchids and gives a brilliant insight in evolutionary matters. Funny to realise that Darwin himself did not like Southwest Australia when he had a stop over there with his Beagle voyage. He detested Albany, I love it. Southwest Australia has been recognised as one of the top biodiversity hotspots worldwide. Read and enjoy the book and share the author's enthousiasm and expert knowledge.
As I have been botanizing in many places where the author has been, I enjoyed the descriptions of his discoveries during his fieldtrips. It also revived my holidays. I share his thrills and was also intrigued by the Hammer Orchid and its pollination. The books gives excellent explanations. I have sent a photo of the Hammer Orchid to Alcock and had it identified by him.
