Hothouse Flower and the 9 Plants of Desire

by Margot Berwin


Lila's a New Yorker in the ad biz. Used to the hustle and bustle of the concrete jungle, she is swept away when David Exley sells her a bird-of-paradise plant.

While nurturing the bird-of-paradise, she meets Armand, the owner of a laundromat full of plants. Through Armand, she learns of the 9 plants of desire, and this is how her adventure begins.

The Mexican jungle, magical realism, and high stakes botany lead Lila on the journey of a lifetime. Interesting and fun--a wonderful and quick beach read!
