Seeing Seeds Teri Dunn Chace

Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.; A centuries-old saying goes, 'Great oaks from little acorns grow'. But as 'Seeing Seeds' reveals, there is much more to a seed than the plant it will someday become: seeds, seedheads, pods, and fruits have their own astounding beauty that rivals, and sometimes even surpasses, the beauty of flowers. In these pages you'll gain an understanding of how seeds are formed and dispersed, why they look the way they do, and how they fit into the environment.
