"Enchantment blooms in orderly rows on the Plateau de Valensole in Provence, where
fragrant fields of lavandin, a lavender hybrid, lure passersby. Heart of traditional

with less costly land and labor."

"A hummingbird picks up more than nectar at a flower in Costa Rica's Monteverde
Cloud Forest Preserve. Pinhole-size mites live in the blossom. When the plant's
last florets bloom, mites wait for a bird's bill to enter, then climb on and sprint
to the bird's nostril at cheetah-like speed—12 body lengths per second. The stowaways
cling till they smell the familiar perfume of a new host plant, then deplane."

The gardens at South Carolina's Middleton Place were begun in 1741 and are one

the gardens are now planned so that flowering plants are in bloom in each of the
four seasons.

Hundreds of black-eyed susans bloom in St. Paul's Como Park Conservatory. Unlike
its fraternal twin Minneapolis with its sleek skyscrapers, St. Paul has a lower,
older, "brickier" profile and a quieter, self-effacing air, which has inspired
both Mark Twain and F. Scott Fitzgerald to sing its praises.
