Bowles (1865-1954) is often called the greatest amateur gardener of his time. He was recognized as an authority on crocuses, daffodils, and snowdrops. This is the second volume in a trilogy exploring his garden throughout the year, and in it he chronicles the charms of roses, geraniums, peonies, and poppies, to name only a few.

Edward Augustus Bowles (1865-1954) was renowned as a gardener, plantsman, and author. His life's work was his garden at Myddelton House, which is now being restored to its original condition as a tribute to his memory.
