Snowdrops and crocuses yield to tulips and hyacinths, then dogwood
blossoms, iris, lupine, daisies, morning glories, daylilies, geraniums,
peonies, sunflowers, roses, and chrysanthemums as spring passes to
summer, then autumn. At last the garden slumbers into winter under a
blanket of snow, preparing next year's procession of blooms. Like actors
crossing a stage, flowers narrate the passing seasons in the first
person, each one briefly proclaiming its unique and vital role in the
natural world. Backmatter descriptions complete this child's
introduction to a garden year, in which the passage of time is vividly
realized.
