Summary "WILD FLOWERS" by Neltje Blanchan is a scientific publication written during the late 19th century. The work aims to explore the intricate relationships between various wild flower species and their insect pollinators, emphasizing the importance of these connections in the natural world. The opening of the book begins with a preface in which Blanchan establishes the overarching theme: flowers are not just beautiful entities within nature, but sentient beings that engage actively with their surroundings. She discusses the evolutionary traits that flowers possess to attract or repel insects, underscoring their vital role in species perpetuation. The text also hints at a more comprehensive study of over 500 species classified by color, offering readers insights into the fascinating adaptations of these plants.
