On Sundays he usually conducted botanical excursions which any one might join on payment of two or three groschen. . . . "On these occasions", an old pupil says, "he explained equally well the inscription on a tombstone, the construction of a windmill, the course of the stars, or the structure of a plant . . . The commonest plant became new by what he had to say about it; a hair, a spot, gave him opportunity for questions, ideas, in- vestigations. " The life-work of Sprengel was expressed in hi...s now famous book The Secret of Nature discovered in the Structure and Fertilization of Flowers (1793), which gives a detailed account of his observations on the flowers around Berlin. He showed that most of the flowers have nectar, and he interpreted the colour as an advertisement of this, suited to catch the insect-eye. By the insects' visits pollination is secured, which is important, since self-pollination is often impossible for various reasons, but especially because of a want of time-keeping (dichogamy) between the stamens and pistil of a given flower.
