I have been reading Jung Chang’s Wild Swans and on numerous occasions, as she paints the landscape of the story, she mentions the Cypress tree. Unfortunately, my ability to identify a plant is limited to whether it's a tree or a flower. The book — an account of three generations of women living in 20th century China — is equal parts harrowing, touching and illuminating. I felt I needed to have a more vivid experience and do justice to the pictures in my head by looking up what a Cypress tree was.
