This unusual look at plant reproduction investigates the diversity of plant adaptations for pollination with an emphasis on unusual co-evolved relationships with animal pollinators. Sexual encounters of the floral kind includes unusual bird and mammal pollinators, flowers that smell like rotting flesh, and orchids that lure male wasps with the promise of sex. Includes examples from Australia, the Arctic, Central America, and Great Britain.
