The book was located in the young adult science fiction section. But it also
May be considered fantasy. I remember the back cover of the book gave
A little synopsis, and that is what moved me to read it. It was not a part of
A series.
by Philip José Farmer, I've not read this author but plant women and human man on cover recalled it to mind from your description.
While googling this book, I found another post looking for a book similar to yours. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Perhaps your book was suggested.
Serena the father was obsessed with the plant creature like in a worshipful way. The plant remained in total plant form. But by the description from the young boy he felt the plant was a female. Thank you for your help.
Tab thank you for your help, but I did not find thebook in the topics yet.
Lana, did the story take place on Earth? Was there any space travel? Remember anything else about the setting?
I think it did or it may have been another planet. Thefamily lived in a underground terrain. Because the
spaceship moved underground. When he located his
father he was no longer underground.

and never returns. The boy sneaks off in a space ship to find his father. He finds his father whose hair has turned white and is a longer,and he is not his usual self. The boy notices the plants seem to be very
living plants, because when a plant leaves brushes against his face it actually feels very alive like it's really touching him.The boy follows his father one evening,and he sees how his father is drawn to a female plant creature and is obsessed with it. When the plants are not in photosynthesis mode, he is able to take the father back with him into the space ship. The plant prevents this by bursting through the rocks and takes the father back. The boy is unable to bring his father back home. I read this book back in the 1980's. I hope someone else is familiar with this story and remember the author/title of book. Thank you
