About the Book
Pollination Power by Heather Angel is a richly illustrated natural history book exploring the remarkable relationships between flowering plants and their pollinators. Through detailed photography and accessible text, the book shows how flowers attract and interact with bees, butterflies, moths, birds, beetles and other pollinating animals.
Heather Angel photographed plants and pollinators in locations around the world, including the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, her garden in Surrey and twenty countries across Africa, Asia and the Americas.
The Science and Beauty of Pollination
The book reveals the different strategies flowers use to attract pollinators. Some flowers change colour when their rewards have been depleted, while others control access through the timing of their petals or by producing particular scents.
The large-format photography captures close interactions between flowers and pollinators, combining botanical information with visual studies of plants, insects and other animals. The book includes 204 colour plates across 208 pages.
