Reviews

An in-depth look at the category of plants generally referred to as bulbs. From the process of selecting healthy specimens to advice on cultivation and propagation, the book should dispel any confusion regarding the differences between corms, tubers, rhizomes, and true bulbs. There are lovely watercolor drawings to depict the life cycle of each bulb type, while cross-sectional views help clarify other distinctive traits. In addition, stunning color photographs enliven the step-by-step format and illustrate design ideas for indoor gardens and outdoor landscaping. Hundreds of bulb varieties are pictured in seasonal directories indicating growing requirements. A fine resource, but moreover, a volume to consult for horticultural daydreaming. Alice Joyce
