Set in 1885, this volume showcases Darwin's exploration of the intricate relationship between orchids and their pollinators, sparked during a holiday in 1861. Fascinated by how specific insects pollinate particular orchid varieties, Darwin shifted his focus from breeding pigeons to studying these plants. Amidst the Victorian orchid craze, he received numerous specimens, allowing him to delve into the evolutionary mechanisms behind their complex petal designs and their attraction to bees and moths. This work encapsulates his findings and theories on natural selection.
