Thought provoking book for plant lovers

This book draws interesting parallels between plant personalities and human relationships. Fascinating analogies between agressive, passive, and quirky plants and human personalities give thought-provoking advice about life. Good for the thoughtful plant lover on your Christmas list. As a plant scientist, I even learned some interesting tidbits about specific plants. I loved it. However, this is not a book to be read cover to cover, it is tidbit type book to be tasted a few reading bites at a time. Disclaimer: The author is a friend of mine.

Insightful and charming...a great Christmas gift

This is a wonderful book, full of interesting but not-too-technical facts about plants as well as keen observations about life and human nature. It is upbeat and inspirational and would make a great gift for plant lovers or anyone who likes to be uplifted occasionally. As I read it I kept thinking about how various sections would make great quotes in an article or presentation. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.
