Perfect bookmark pairing for this one!

Very sympathetic biography of a pioneering Victorian plantswoman. Told with wit and generosity, this story of inheritance, love, friendship and daffodil bulbs is well researched and engaging. Each chapter begins with an archival object and that really brought to life the process of retelling this amazingly unconventional woman‘s life. I will never look at a daffodil the same way again. Loved it!
