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. Fountas & Pinnell Level L
