Before we all hear the call of the wild and are drawn to our gardens I highly recommend reading Michael Pollan's book "The Botany of Desire" a plant's-eye view of the world. It's been on the National Bestseller list but some how I missed it.....probably because I've been stuck in reference manuals or weedin' and waterin' in the garden. It's a very interesting read about the reciprocal relationship between plants and people. He shines light on the question, Did we domesticate plants or did they domesticate us?

when a plant lusts in the Botany of Desire does it yell, "Stella!"
