"There is not one page of this enchanting book which does not contain something to interest the common reader as well as the serious student. Regarded simply as a history of flowers, it adds to the joys of the country." — B. E. Todd, Spectator

| Author | Alan W. Watts |
| ISBN | 0394733118 |
While I most enjoy the hundreds of hours of lectures by this, my favorite thinker of all time, I do treasure this book which was his last - and was a gift to me from his son Mark. After I received it, I noticed the musty smell of a fine old book. Watts died in the 70's while in his late 50's and he lived on a houseboat...

This book is from the 70's, and the first of his I've ever read. When starting this book I found it refreshing in tone. Compared to some other books I've read in the style, his opinions seemed unafraid of honest, critical thinking, welcoming of obvious extremes, unglamorous about "spiritual" concerns...
