Chris Thorogood dreamed of becoming a botanist and would stop at nothing to feed his growing addiction to plants. In his wild adventures across Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia, he treads a death-defying path over cliffs, up erupting volcanoes, through typhoons, and into the very heart of the world's vast, green wilderness. Along the way, he encounters pitcher plants, irises and orchids more heart-piercingly beautiful than you could ever imagine. An internationally acclaimed botanical illustrator, Thorogood conjures his adventures back to life in his electric paintings, which feature throughout the book. Joining his wild adventures is to be under a green spell: you'll never think of plants the same way again.
