From Flower to Fruit
Anne Ophelia Dowden
Anne Ophelia Dowden meticulously describes and pictures, in full-color
paintings and exquisite black-and-white drawings, the amazing variety of
fruits made by flowering plants.
Using specimens she has collected from all over the world, she explains
how fertilization occurs, how seeds are produced, and how flowers mature
into fruits. Here are over 150 fruit forms—from dry seed pods such as the
lily and milkweed, with its tufted seeds, to hard-shelled nuts like hickory
and acorn, and the familiar fleshy fruits of the cherry, blackberry, cucum
ber, and fig.
Ms. Dowden's minutely detailed illustrations and lucid, precise text reveal
the intricate inner processes of life in its most elemental visible form.
