Snowdrops and crocuses yield to tulips and hyacinths, then dogwood blossoms, iris, lupine, daisies, morning glories, daylilies, geraniums, peonies, sunflowers, roses, and chrysanthemums as spring passes to summer, then autumn. At last the garden slumbers into winter under a blanket of snow, preparing next years procession of blooms.

Backmatter descriptions complete this childs introduction to a garden year, in which the passage of time is vividly realized. Fountas & Pinnell Level L
