To get "into the green," city dwellers often believe they must leave the urban boundaries behind. However, we are surrounded every day by amazing plants, whether on traffic islands, in courtyards, or simply along the roadside – we just need to see them. "The Flowers of the City" explains how to do this. Before seeing, of course, comes smelling: If it smells like green mandarins, we are likely near a witch hazel; a delicate, honey-sweet aroma indicates that winter aconites are nearby, and cherry blossoms smell like almonds. But there is so much more to discover: from male blackbirds becoming berserk at the sight of yellow crocus fields, to myths and legends like love vows under the mistletoe, to the ingredients of Miraculix's magic potion. "The Flowers of the City" helps parents out of the "What is blooming there?" dilemma and opens up new perspectives for city strollers.
