I wanted to share the experience of talking to Pavord, because it was so much fun, and looking at the book, because it’s so fabulous.

That was great, Elizabeth. Thank you for sharing the audio with us. I love listening to gardeners who have such a passion for a specific plant or type of plant.
I love listening to her too. When you talk with this kind of passion, you could be talking about Q-Tips and I’d be drooling. She’s fabulous. Of course..it takes a good interviewer to bring out such joy in a person. What a beautiful book. And tell her to show off!! She’s so grand at it.
Ditto, that was great!
Oh, I loved that. Just listening to her was wonderful. I put her book on my wishlist for Christmas. I spent all my money this year on bulbs.~~Dee
