The first plant enthusiasts to reach China found a wonderful array of unfamiliar garden plants that had been nurtured by Chinese gardeners for thousands of years. This is the story of the struggles, the daring and the dogged perseverance of those early collectors. Where would we be without magnolias, camellias, chrysanthemums, tree peonies, repeat-flowering roses, viburnums and so many more? Jane Kilpatrick writes with knowledge and affection of the amateur pioneers and the plants they introduced to an audience that had not realized the flowers they had seen on wallpapers, silks and ceramics could be real.
Jane Kilpatrick studied History at Oxford and then tried a number of different occupations, among them antiquarian bookselling, before working for several years at a children's safety charity. Throughout she has gardened whenever and wherever possible. She is a dedicated plantswoman with a passionate interest in Chinese plants.

評分想来中国植物还有这么一段精彩的西行之旅!关注了人的互动之后,关注这种植物(花草)之旅也是很有意思的~~~~~~~~~ 结合范发迪《清代在华的英国博物学家》一起看,更能了解这种西行之旅背后的有趣故事,呵呵
評分一直很向往英国的邱园,也很羡慕欧洲大陆上到处烂漫的奇花异草,读完这本异域的中国植物迁移史才知道原来那么多有名的风靡欧洲的花草竟然都是从东亚从中国引进的,惊异之余也不得不感叹中国地域之广阔,植被之丰富。作为一个立志投身植物世界的小妞,这种认知让我感到...
