Summary "The Flowers and Gardens of Madeira" by Florence Du Cane is a detailed guidebook exploring the diverse floral landscapes and gardening practices on the island of Madeira, written in the early 20th century. This work highlights the vibrant gardens and rich vegetation that characterize the region, offering insights rooted in the author's personal observations and experiences. The book likely serves as a valuable resource for gardening enthusiasts and travelers interested in the unique horticultural environment of Madeira. At the start of the book, the author provides an introduction that sets the stage for her exploration of the island's gardens and natural beauty. Drawing from her own expectations prior to visiting Madeira, she reflects on the lush greenery that one might anticipate and contrasts it with her observations upon arrival. The narrative establishes a sense of nostalgia and wonder as the author describes both the cultivated gardens and the remnants of Madeira's original forests. She emphasizes the enchanting variety of plant life that flourishes in the island's climates, setting the tone for a deeper examination of various gardens and their distinctive features in the subsequent chapters.
