| 520 | 8 | |a Annotation |b Has ever a plant inspired such love and such hatred as the rhododendron? Its beauty is inarguable; it can clothe whole hillsides and gardens with a blanket of vibrant colour. The rhododendron has a propensity towards sexual infidelity, making it very popular with horticultural breeding programs. The rhododendron can also be used as an herbal remedy for an astonishing range of ailments. But there is a darker side. Daphne du Maurier used the red rhododendron as a symbol of blood in her bestselling novel 'Rebecca' and numerous Chinese folktales link the plant with tragedy and death. It can poison livestock and intoxicate humans, and its narcotic honey has been used as a weapon of war. In this beautifully illustrated volume, Richard Milne explores the many ways in which the rhododendron has influenced human societies, relating this to the extraordinary story of the plants' evolution. | |
