About the Book
̈Flowers are amazing for so many reasons, and Strange Flowers – A Coloring Book features some of the truly most amazingly strange flowers from around the world. Humans value flowers for a multitude of reasons – they provide us foods and medicines, serve as symbols in our religions and rituals, and beautify natural and designed landscapes.
Plants and their pollinators need something else in ad- dition to each other. Namely, they need protection, as they are increasingly both threatened by environmental degradation, such as habitat loss, pollution, invasive spe- cies, and by climate change. Strange Flowers – A Coloring Book introduces some of these magnificent plants to the generation of humans that must help save these plants, their pollinators, and the web of life Itself. ̈
