This new edition of Weird Plants for 2026 is updated in a striking new format.

This extraordinary compilation showcases weird, mysterious and bizarre plants from around the world. Plants trick, kill, steal and kidnap, and this unique book explores a fascinating world in which plants have turned the tables on animals.

Familiar plants such as the Venus fly trap and bird of paradise are featured, along with a host of the unfamiliar, such as the parasitic devil’s guts, the monkey-face orchid and a tropical tree with flowers that resemble a pair of ruby red lips.

The book is illustrated throughout with a unique collection of life-like oil paintings by the author, who has encountered these weird plants around the world.
