Pretty Tricky explores ways plants act in a manner that seems quite un-plant-like. A vine, for example, that climbs trees, and (somehow...no one can explain quite how this happens) its leaves change to match the leaves of the host tree. Startling ways various plants have to attach their seed to moveable creatures. The complex way a Roridula plant has of obtaining food.

Even if you think you know a lot about plants (I did!), these tricky plants will surprise and delight you. Perhaps someone young will explore these plant oddities further.
