The Plant - Volume II: Flowering Plants (Paperback)

This classic, loving study of the plant world is the fruit of a lifetime of patient and detailed observation of nature. Beginning with the flowering plant, Vol. 1 turns then to the living face of the earth before moving on to consider the threefoldness of the plant and the image of the human being. Finally, there is a description of "the ladder of the plant kingdom."

Vol. 2 adds further plant descriptions and extends the cosmological viewpoint of Vol. 1.

Grohmann writes about his book: "Years of study of Goethe's scientific writings and especially the researches of Rudolf Steiner, which cannot be valued too highly, were the guiding lines. But there would be no sense in writing yet another book on plants were the author not convinced that a new method of approach can convey new knowledge."
