<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>North America is home to approximately four dozen bulbous genera. Among these are some very popular rock garden plants, such as <i>Calochortus, Erythronium</i>, and <i>Fritillaria</i>, which have never had anything substantial written about them in book form. Others, including <i>Calydorea, Hypoxis</i>, and <i>Muilla</i>, are not as well known outside specialist collections. The characteristics that make bulbs so desirable in gardens include their great diversity of flowering time, color, size, and form; their ability to adapt to a wide range of environments; and their capacity to multiply and spread without a gardener's intervention. Amateur botanists and horticulturists, particularly those with an interest in alpine and rock gardens, and travelers planning a field trip to choice plant-viewing sites all over the continent, will be inspired by this firsthand account of native North American bulbs. <p/> This book is only available through print on demand. All interior art is black and white.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Wise gardeners will do well to heed the informed descriptions and cultivation advice contained here, making note of a plant's natural habitat before envisioning where it might grow at home." --<i><b>Booklist</b></i> <br><br>
