Description
The incredible story of Chris Thorogood's quest to find and protect the world's largest flowers begins with his childhood dream of seeing Rafflesia. Today, he is a botanist dedicated to studying this extraordinary plant, working in Southeast Asia to document its biology. Thorogood's journey takes him into remote rainforests, where he faces unusual flora and follows indigenous tribes in search of Rafflesia's ghostly blooms. As he navigates the wilderness, he encounters leeches, vines, and rivers, all while trying to understand this biological enigma that invades other plants as a leafless parasite. This book is part thrilling adventure story and part call to action to safeguard a fast-disappearing wilderness. It offers a fresh perspective on the importance of plants for our existence, both now and in the future.
