Unusual Plants, Book 3 of my SURFING A MAGICAL INTERNET series, has just been published as an eBook by Amazon. It presents over 100 pictures along with fascinating stories about all sorts of unusual plants that excited people during my grandmother’s youth and are bound to do the same for us. We meet medicinal plants that may or may not heal people and others that would definitely poison them. We learn of plants that are the source of beautiful paints and dyes and of others that have long been celebrated in works of art. We study spice plants and carnivorous plants and find out how some plants came to be sacred plants. We visit night-blooming plants and nightshade plants and marvel at the world’s most remarkable trees. We meet up with exotic food plants and encounter others still that manage to prosper in the driest of deserts or on the highest of mountains. And we come across intriguing stories about reeds and cane plants and all sorts of useful “industrial” plants that have supported a great variety of human endeavors for millennia. There are amazing stories associated with all of these.
