Botany of Desire Excerpt Pictures

(Agricultural Illinois)

This photo is an example of coevolution. The flower is dependent on attracting the bee and rubbing it's pollen so the pollen can get to other plants. It is also a food source for the bee.

(Oregon State)

Wheat is useful to humans. So we make way by clearing land so we can cultivate it. This benefits the plants because we move things for them. 

(Geograph UK)

This is an example of domestication which we find less appealing to look at then wild animals.

(Animal Kingdom)

This is an example of what Darwin in his  The Origin of Species classifies as a artificial selection. Cocker Spaniels can be referred to like this because they were specially breed to have a variation that humans value.
