After reading this month’s book club pick you may never look at a bouquet the same way again. In How Flowers Made Our World DavidHaskell gives us a fascinating read, shedding light on the importance of flowers and their role as key architects of our planet’s ecology.

From the publisher’s website:

“We live on a floral planet, yet flowers don’t get the credit they deserve. We admire them for their aesthetics, not their power. In this examination of the role flowers played in creating the world we know today, David George Haskell observes, smells, and studies flowers such as magnolias, orchids, and roses, as well as fascinating but less celebrated flowers such as seagrasses and tea to show us what we’ve been missing.”
