What reading level is Flowers, Fruits And Leaves book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The sleep of flowers is also probably a case of the same kind, though, as I have already attempted to show, it has, I believe, special reference to the visits of insects ; those flowers which are fertilised by bees, butterflies, and other day insects, sleep by night, if at all ; while those which are dependent on moths rouse themselves towards evening, as already men- tioned, and sleep by day. These motions, indeed, have but an indirect reference to our present subject.
On the other hand, in th...e Dandelion {Leontodori), the flower-stalk is upright while the flower is expanded, a period which lasts for three or four days ; it then lowers itself and lies close to the ground for about twelve days, while the fruits are ripening, and then rises again when they are mature. In the Cyclamen the stalk curls itself up into a beautiful spiral after the flower has faded.
The flower of the little Linaria of our walls {L.
cymbalarid) pushes out into the light and sunshine, but as soon as it is fertilised it turns round and endeavours to find some hole or cranny in which it may remain safely ensconced until the seed is ripe.
