Vita Sackville-West

Poeta, novelista, columnista, adinerada aristócrata, nieta de bailarina española, musa y amante de Virginia Woolf, y mito lésbico, bisexual y andrógino, Vita Sackville-West (1892-1962) fue, además de todo ello, jardinera. Su pasión por las flores dejó como legado los famosos jardines del castillo de Sissinghurst, en el condado de Kent, pero también el maravilloso jardín de su libro "Mis flores", un paseo a través de la palabra por las veinticinco flores que más amaba.
