“Llewellyn’s images reflect a depth of detail that until now, only the best botanical illustrators could approach.” —The Washington Post A centuries-old saying goes, “Great oaks from little acorns grow.” But as this dazzling book 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. Bitter melon seeds resemble a handful of rubies. Poppy pods could be art nouveau salt shakers. And butterfly vine seeds look exactly like those delicate insects captured in mid-flight. Seeds also come with fascinating stories. Jewels of Opar got its name from a fabled city in Edgar Rice Burroughs’s Tarzan stories. Lotus seeds sent into orbit by Chinese scientists came back to earth mysteriously altered. And fava beans—beloved of foodies—have a Jekyll-and-Hyde personality: they can cause the debilitating condition known as favism in some individuals and at the same time combat the microorganism that causes malaria. In these stunning 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. Seeing Seeds will take you to strange and wonderful places. When you return, it’s safe to say that you’ll never look at a seed the same way again.

Excerpt from Seed-Travellers Studies of the Methods of Dispersal of Various Common Seeds There are few subjects better adapted to awakening the faculties of observation to a sense of the significance of those things in the living world with which we come in daily contact than that of the dispersal of seeds. Away from the crowded streets of cities one can scarcely step out of doors without witnessing some phase of plant dispersal, while a little intelligent attention to the commonest objects along the roadside will reveal numberless interesting facts. These studies may be pursued to advantage at any season of the year, but there is an especial wealth of material during the months of autumn and winter. For studies of nature in the schools, seeds and fruits are particularly desirable. Specimens illustrating the various methods of dispersal are easily obtained by the pupils themselves. The significance of the several adaptations to dissemination is at once apparent; the connection between the plant and its surroundings is shown to advantage; and the general idea of the unity of nature may readily be brought before attentive minds. I would recommend that this little book be used in connection with observations upon the specimens treated of; that the studies be read by the individual pupils, either with the objects in hand or for the purpose of inciting them to search for the specimens. If the material does not present itself in the order of the studies as they appear in the book, the studies may be read in the order in which the specimens are obtained.
