The Garden Plants of China
Peter Valder
|
$49.95 |
It is hard to imagine gardens without peonies, camellias, gardenias, azaleas, wisteria, forsythia, and the other ornamentals that were introduced first in Chinese gardens. And the development of the modern repeat-flowering roses would not have occurred had the so-called monthly roses not been brought to Europe from China. In spite of the excitement generated by the discoveries of plant hunters in the wilds of China, it has been the cultivated Chinese plants that have had the greatest impact on the gardens of the world.
