This is the story of one woman's journey through time, accompanied
by the most beautiful flowers; trees... even weeds, including:
Lagerstroemia, saga tree, magnolia, kumquat, balsam, petunia,
lilac, flame of the forest, chempaka, peony, narcissus, queen of
the night. Interwined with her memories are plant lore and things
botanical. "Plants bookmark the memories and milestones of my life.
As an only child in a household of adult, plants became my friends.
As I grew up and wherever I wandered, there was always a plant to
cheer me up, a flower to keep my life connected. In San Francisco,
an old Japanese garden sage taught me how to utilize light and
shade, when to water, and how to get the best out of herbs and
vegetables. In Hong Kong, an accidental weed visited my window sill
and comforted me while I deliberated the future. It was plants that
finally connected me with my husband in China. I'm an ethnic
Chinese whose grandparents left the mother country. He was a
descendant of Manchu princes and was sent down to Inner Mongolia as
a teenager to toil in the potato fields during the Cultural
Revolution. Yet both of us connected through our love and knowledge
of nature and our gardens."
