From the publisher
First line
ONE SEPTEMBER FIFTEEN years ago, when I first assumed my Peace Corps appointment in El Salvador, I accepted an invitation to spend a weekend on the country's Pacific coast.
From the rear cover
In this book, Peter Bernhardt takes us on a grand tour of the botanical realm, weaving engaging descriptions of the lovely shapes and intriguing habits of flowering plants with considerations of broader questions, such as why there are only six basic shapes of flowers and why the orchid family is so numerous and so bizarre. Everyone from amateur naturalists and gardeners to plant scientists will find Wily Violets and Underground Orchids a lively guide to botanical lore.
